Richard Shindell - A Tune For Nowhere


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: C  F C G   C  F G F C G

    C              F     C   G      C
She wonders if the flags are waving still
                       F  C    G
She likes to see their colours on the hill
              Am  G   F        C  G
Almost like a rainbow over all of this
C                F    C  G C
She will fly the flag of nowhere
                F  C    G
Hidden with the ribbons in her hair
             Am  G    F                 G
Anywhere she goes she knows it's always there
Am         F        G C      F C G   C
Never far away from nowhere

             F     C G        C
Nowhere is a place inside her head
               F C  G
She is not its only citizen
                 Am G F           C          G
No one knows how many souls there may remain
C          F     C   G C
Carrying a torch for nowhere
                F    C G
Nowhere doesn't have a government
                 Am   G   F            G
And no one can decide how far it may extend
Am              F      G C       F C G    C
She will not surrender nowhere


INSTRUMENTAL: C  F  C  G    C    F  C  G    Am  F  C  G


C               F   C  G        C
She is learning how to play the flute
                 F C           G
Just because she always wanted to
                  Am   F        C    G
She practices her lessons every afternoon
C               F      C  G C
Up and down the scales of nowhere
           F     C  G
Stumbling across Au Clair de Lune
           Am G F               G
Hour after hour in her basement room
Am          F           G C       F C G    C
Making up a tune___ for nowhere
