Witness Blues chords by A.A. Bondy

G                 C
Come out to the edge where it is quiet
D                   G
Where the ink will drain right out of you
G                C
Far below, the sea and its convictions
D                   G
Get broken by the beach out of your view


   C                 G
And once there was a time to join the army
   C                 G
And once there was a time to hear the news
   C                 G
And once there was a time for easy silence
       D       G
But now the jury waits for you

G                      C
You're caught between the mirror and the country
D                   G
And caught up in a prayer of liars' words
G                       C
The hounds are on your scent, you must move swiftly
D                      G
Their spies just tellin' lies of what they heard


   C                 G
And once there was a time to join the army
   C                 G
And once there was a time to hear the news
   C                 G
And once there was a time for easy silence
       D       G
But now the jury waits for you


G                    C
So make yourself a mask of chrome and heartaches
D                 G
And give yourself a hand to turn away
G                    C
Once you heard a choir when you were dreamin'
D                  G
And you wish you could remember it today


   C                 G
And once there was a time to join the army
   C                 G
And once there was a time to hear the news
   C                 G
And once there was a time for easy silence
       D       G
But now the jury waits for you
