Intro: BB F#F# E MajorE BB F#F# E MajorE BB
F#F#
She went off to the city
E MajorE BB
To find what she was looking for
F#F#
To identify, to really try
E MajorE BB
To find herself some hope
F#F#
With the summer sun for laughing
E MajorE
Then the winter rain did pour
BB F#F#
She was lovelier from learning
E MajorE BB
And from living, loving more
F#F#
From her dancing loving young soul
E MajorE BB
And the gypsies in her dream
F#F#
To the pulse of stark acceptance
E MajorE BB
When the winds begun to freeze
F#F#
With no curfews left to hold her
E MajorE
And no walls to shield her pain
BB F#F#
Finding out that facts were older
E MajorE BB
And that life forms are insane
F#F#
The presence of protection seemed
E MajorE BB
To fade, as did her doubt
F#F#
That she now was no exception
E MajorE BB
Nor was the love who pushed her out
F#F#
Though the streets cried out, "go, homesick"
E MajorE
Virtue strength of mind would ring
BB F#F#
In the melodies of meaning
E MajorE BB
The sad song she learned to sing
(BB F#F# E MajorE BB F#F# E MajorE BB)
F#F#
Now her teachers and philosophers
E MajorE BB
And the poet's silver throat
F#F#
Are the vessels which on wisdom's
E MajorE BB
Karmic ocean she will float
F#F#
Was this her revolution?
E MajorE
Just a child in love's crusade
BB F#F#
With the question in her innocence
E MajorE BB
Through the lies her eyes betrayed
