INTRO: G D7 G C D G D7 G D7sus4, G
Oh, the gentleD7men G/Dare CtalkDing and the Gmidnight D7moon is G/Don the D7sus4/CriversideG/D
They're Gdrinking D7up G/Dand CwalkDing and Git is D7time G/Dfor D7sus4/Cme to Gslide.
D7/CI G/Clive in an Cother D7world where D7/Clife G/Cand death are Cmemorized,
D7Where the Gearth is D7strung G/Dwith Clovers' Dpearls and Gall I D7see G/Dare D7sus4dark D7sus4/Geyes.
A cock is crowing far away and another soldier's deep in prayer,
Some mother's child has gone astray, she can't find him anywhere.
But I can hear another drum beating for the dead that rise,
Whom nature's beast fears as they come and all I see are dark eyes.
They tell me to be discreet for all intended purposes,
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
But I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized,
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
Oh, the French girl, she's in paradise and a drunken man is at the wheel,
Hunger pays a heavy price to the falling gods of speed and steel.
Oh, time is short and the days are sweet and passion rules the arrow that flies,
A million faces at my feet but all I see are dark eyes.
