Gerry Rafferty - As wise as a serpent

^Fmaj7Well we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives^Dsus2 away ^Fmaj7While the spirits come and go without a sound ^{Dsus2 Fmaj7}And just like you and me, they're tryin' ^Dsus4to find a way, ^Ffind a way, f^Am7ind a way hom^Dsus2e

^Fmaj7There's a full moon in the sky, but that don't^Dsus2 worry me I^Fmaj7 don't ever hang my soul out on the line ^{Dsus2 Fmaj7}When the witchin' hour comes, I always fl^Dsus4y away, fly awa^Fy, fly away h^Am7ome ^Dsus2

^Fmaj7There's a light in the city, that ^Fmaj7comes down^C/G from abov^Dsus2e ^Fmaj7Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, ^Fmaj7harmless a^C/Gs a dove ^{Dsus2 Fmaj7}Don't blow your tomorrows, don't t^Fmaj7hrow away ^C/Gyour love ^{Dsus2 Fmaj7}You've got to be as wise as a serpent,^C/G harmless as a ^G7sus2dove ^{Dsus4 F Am7 Dsus2 Dsus4 F Am7 Dsus2}

^Fmaj7Now you once asked me why we can't communicate^{Dsus2 Fmaj7}But it doesn't always pay to tell the truth ^{Dsus2 Fmaj7}If I told you right now, you'd only run a^Dsus4way, run away, ^Frun away home^{Am7 Dsus2}

^Fmaj7So we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives a^Dsus2way ^Fmaj7While the spirits come and go without a sound ^{Dsus2 Fmaj7}Yeah just like you and me, they're tryin'^Dsus4 to find a way,^F find a way, ^Am7find a way ho^Dsus2me

^Fmaj7There's a light in the city, that ^Fmaj7comes down^C/G from abov^Dsus2e ^Fmaj7Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, ^Fmaj7harmless a^C/Gs a dove ^{Dsus2 Fmaj7}Don't blow your tomorrows, don't t^Fmaj7hrow away ^C/Gyour love ^{Dsus2 Fmaj7}You've got to be as wise as a serpent,^C/G harmless as a ^G7sus2dove ^{Dsus4 F Am7 Dsus2 Dsus4 F Am7 Dsus2}
