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
