Trick Of The Light chords by The Triffids

(This is based on the version from "In The Pines".)

(Single Strums for this first part.)
             C
It's only an image of her
G
Just a trick of the light


G
I have a letter, familiar paper.
             D
I keep a figurine in a locket
G
It's dedicated, engraved initials.
             D
Yellow photograph in a pocketbook

(This is the Chorus)
D
Well the rim of her mouth is golden,
C
But her eyes were just desert sands.
G
But that's not her.
G
That's just the light.
G
Only an image of her.
G
Just a trick of the light.

I have a letter, gives me directions
Name of the street where I should turn.
Spoke to a woman that burst into flames
Saying "back to you honey, no returns".

(Chorus)

I was beating on her like an anvil.
Beating her out of original shape.
With that same old panic, caught on her face
I copied the image of the ancient template.

(Chorus)

(Instrumental Break)

There's a man, sowing sunflowers,
There's a woman, weeping weeds.
You can find no rest in sleep,
You can find no peace in greed.

(Chorus) x2
