Words and Music by Harry Chapin
(capo 3rd fret)
A - Amaj7 - A6 - A - Esus4 - E - E7sus4
E7 A Amaj7 A6 A
I was thrown on the cobblestones tossed at her feet
C Cmaj7 C6 C
My fool's mouth was filled with the dust from the street
E Esus4 E Esus2
An out of work court jester with nowhere to go
Bm Bm/A Bm/G# Bm E
An no need to speak for she seemed to know
A Amaj7 A6
She sings her songs without words
A Esus4 E Esus2 E7
Songs that sailors and blind men and beggars have heard
A Amaj7 A6 A
She knows more of love than the poets can say
Esus4 E E7sus2 - E - A
And her eyes offer something that won't go away
Amaj7 - A6 - A - Esus4 - E - E7sus2 - E7
E7 A Amaj7 A6 A
This mad mocking town and its dishonored guest
C Cmaj7 C6 C
Disappeared in the colors that danced on her dress
E Esus4 E Esus2
She led me to safety in a forest of green
Bm Bm/A Bm/G# Bm E
And showed my stale eyes some sights never seen
A Amaj7 A6
She sings her songs without words
A Esus4 E Esus2 E7
Songs that sailors and blind men and beggars have heard
A Amaj7 A6 A
She knows more of love than the poets can say
Esus4 E E7sus2 - E - A
And her eyes offer something that won't go away
Amaj7 - A6 - A - F - Fmaj7 - F6 - F
C7sus4 - C7 - C7sus2 - C7 - F - Fmaj7 - F6 - F - Bm7-5 - E - E7sus4
E7 A Amaj7 A6 A
She spins magic and moonlight in her meadows and streams
C Cmaj7 C6 C
And seeks deep inside me and touches my dreams
E Esus4 E Esus2
The morning comes smiling and I laugh with no sound
Bm Bm/A Bm/G# Bm E
And snuggle in silence to the sweet peace I've found
A Amaj7 A6
She sings her songs without words
A Esus4 E Esus2 E7
Songs that sailors and blind men and beggars have heard
A Amaj7 A6 A
She knows more of love than the poets can say
Esus4 E E7sus2 - E - A - Amaj7 - A6
And her eyes offer something that won't go away
A Esus4 E E7sus2 E7 A
No they won't go away, go away
Amaj7 - A6 - A - Esus4 - E - E7sus2 - E7
A - Amaj7 - A6 - A - Esus4 - E - Esus2 - E
