INTRO: G D G
Am7
I took this walk to ease my mind
Am
To find out what's gnawing at me
C G
Wouldn't think, to look at me
Am7
that I've spent a lot of time in education
C G
It all seems so long ago
Am7
I'm a thinker, not a talker
C
I've no-one to talk to, anyway
CHORUS 1:
G F
I can't see the road
C G
for the rain in my eyes
F C G
Ahhh-huh, huh, huh
Am
I live above the grocers store
Am7
Owned by an Austrian
C G
He often calls me down to eat
Am7
And he jokes about his broken English
C G
tries to be a friend to me
Am
But for all my years of reading conversation
C
I stand without a word to say
CHORUS 2:
G F
I can't see the bridge
C G
for the rain in my eyes
F C G
Ahhh-huh, huh, huh
A E
And the world is full of life
Bm
Full of folk who don't know me
D A
And they walk in twos or threes or more
Bm
While the lamp that shines above the grocer's store
D A
Investigates my face so rudely
Bm
And my essays lying scattered on the floor
D
Fulfill their needs just by being there
A G
And my hands shake, my head hurts
D A
My voice sticks inside my throat
G
I'm invisible and dumb
D A
And no-one will recall me
CHORUS 3:
A G
And I can't see the water
D Am A
for the tears in my ey-y-yes
