[Intro]
Bm
[Verse 1]
F#m G A Bm
Where are the arms of the world?
F#m G A Bm
They've always been able to find us
F#m G A Bm
Caught between borders and shores
F#m G A
Reaching past danger and blindness
Bbm
My Mother wept over the headlines
Bm F#m
The Beatles appeared in my dreams
E G Gmaj7
"Hoo Boy" exclaimed our man Mister Cronkite
[Bridge]
A G A Bm
As the Eagle touched down on blurry TV
[Verse 2]
F#m G A Bm
And where are the eyes of the world?
F#m G A Bm
They’ve always been able to see you
F#m G A Bm
Why did you give up and turn away
F#m G A
At the moment that so many need you
Bbm
And the sight of children in cages
Bm F#m
While dog whistles stink up the place
E G Gmaj7
Everything's different but nothing much changes
[Chorus]
A D G A A6
Our Man Walter Cronkite would be on the case
D G A
And what will you miss when you're gone?
Bbm
Lovers and songs and light ever-changing
Bm A F#m
And the sense that once you belong to something amazing
A G
It was something amazing
[Instrumental]
D G x3
Gm Bm
[Verse 3]
F#m A
Where is the heart of the world?
F#m A
I always believed it could love me
F#m A
It's one of those things without words
F#m A
Like the sight of the stars shining above me
Bbm
My Father rode trains Monday to Friday
Bm F#m
His chin fell asleep on his chest
E G Gmaj7
I carry what's left somewhere inside me
[Outro]
F#m G A
Our Man Walter Cronkite has gone to his rest
F#m G A
Our Man Walter Cronkite is gone
