5. 1917 (Written by David Olney)

G minorGm            C minorCm
The strange young man who comes to me
D7D7       G minorGm
A augmentedA soldier on a three day spree
G minorGm             C minorCm
He needs one night's cheap ecstasy
D7D7          G minorGm
And a woman's arms to hide him
G minorGm         C minorCm
He greets me with a courtly bow
D7D7          G minorGm
And hides his pain by acting proud
G minorGm            C minorCm
He drinks too much and he laughs too loud
D7D7    G minorGm
How can I deny him.

G minorGm F7F7


Bb majorBb       FF
Let us dance beneath the moon
C minorCm        G minorGm
I'll sing to you 'Claire de Lune'
Bb majorBb         FF
The morning always comes too soon
D7D7           G minorGm
But tonight the war is over

{Verse 2: He speaks to me in schoolboy French..}
{Chorus: Hold me 'neath the Paris skies..}
{Verse 3: We make love too hard, too fast..}
{Chorus: Old world glory, old world fame..}
{Verse 4: (Spoken) Oh, I'd pray for him but I've forgotten how...}
{Chorus: French words and lalalalas...hehe sorry, not typing it..}

D7D7           G minorGm
But tonight the war is over

To the east the factories stand
              D MajorD
Like fire-breathing dragons against the sky

Burns itself into smoky lullabies
   C majorC
Over neon and fluorescent skies Valerie,
{Chorus:}
Can you hear those engines drone
 G+G
I wanted to go to Mexico
    D MajorD
But I'm stranded here alone
  C majorC
And once I knew a true love

It's been three years since he's gone

I'd give up everything I own

C majorC
Everything's in slow motion now
D MajorD
In this little border town

I've come so close from so far
C majorC
Just to hide behind these windows here
D MajorD
From the world outside
 C majorC
I watch those cars and trucks raise trails of dust
D MajorD              C majorC
Down the road as they pass by Valerie...

{Chorus}
       C majorC  G+G
Everything I own
       C majorC  G+G
Everything I own
