lyrics

Clare Eyes
25 June 2017
Acoustic

Verse

Gsus (I or III). | G > Em | F+9 (I) | C |
Your eyes take me back to a midnight scene
Em | Bm > Gsus (II) | F#m7 | C |
To where the fields are made of stone
Bm7 | Am7 | Fmaj7 | D |
With mountain flowers in be- tween

2
But going nowhere if we only knew
I headed north and the warmth went south
Back in paper days we wrote a letter or two.

3

The flowers live on in that land of stone
Our garden withered in the storms of time ⎼
As far as the stars you lie unknown.

B/ Chorus

Fmaj7 | Cmaj7 | C#m7 | Dm (I) | Csus (I) > Gsus (III) |
Clare eyes, grey as sto- -ne, but kind
Em6 (gliss) | Cm7 (I) |
They weren’t really looking for me
Em7+9 (I, open G) | D7+9 (I) |
Drifting away like the clouds
D7+9 (I) > | Em
Still it’s them I see
F7-5 (I) | G+9 (II) > G | D > D7
Now I look be- -hind.
[Chorus 2: Change ‘they’ to ‘you’]

G
