John Renbourn - So Clear Chords

C             G              Am                  E
It was in the rainy season - waiting for the train
Am               D           Bm              E
Leaving in the afternoon - all on your own again.
D                      Am            D                       Am
Do you really understand it? Can you tell me why it is this way?
G                  F    C         Am               D
Sad lady at her portmanteau with no words left to say,
F                     C                 Am         D     F
Saving that it's only something that can happen any day.

C           G            Am                  E
Too loose, circus rider, turn on your childish grin,
Am                  D                     Bm              E
Shine on through the long black night, go ride the dawn again.
D                                 Am         D                       Am
Your eyes are stars that sweetly twinkle, aureole around your head aflame.
G                  F       C         Am               D
Sad story that you cannot tell, where no one is to blame.
F                     C                 Am               D     F
And anyhow its only something sure to come down with the rain.

G                       F                C          G          Am
Would I could hear your song so clear, the words could touch the air,
     C                      Am           D               F
And catch the moon's reflection in the colour of her hair.
   C                   Am            C             G     Am
To ease this ache of loneliness and blind the vicious stare.

C          G            Am                        E
Even now I do remember one thing more that is not told,
       Am               D              Bm                  E
Just a slightly twisted crystal heart to keep you from the cold.
    D                      Am           D                       Am
All up the coast along the highway nobody there will know your name.
     G                          F       C         Am               D
So strange how things should work out now, yet still remain the same.
F                              C              Am              D     F
And even so you know there's nothing that can ever really change...
