Tony Joe White - Closer To The Truth


Dm


F       C              Dm 
Strong instinct for survival
F     C         Dm
Romantically insane
F       C             Gm
Moving soft along the edge of time
Bb      C             Dm
Like a panther in the rain        F

C             Dm
Manipulated rebels
        F         C            Dm
With a total disregard for the rules
F                 C
When pride comes tumbling off
    Gm
the great white stallion
Bb        C            Dm   
You move closer to the truth

Bb, C, D

C                                D
And the search continues for the meaning
C                       D
We build the cathedrals high
C     A               G
And keep our weapons ready
Bb       C               Dm
Looming dark against the sky

F, C, Dm

Bb, C, Dm

F              C         Dm
They're taking down the rain forest
F                C              Dm  
Changing it to a room without a view
F             C           Gm
The big trees fall like dominoes
Bb          C             Dm 
And we move closer to the truth

Bb, C, D

C                              D
And the eagle watches from the mountain
C                         D
As the warriors turn into fools
C                 A         G  
And the dice are thrown on sacred ground
Bb             C             Dm 
And they move closer to the truth

F     C                   Dm
And who's gonna tell the children
        F              C           Dm 
How the rivers used to flow cystal blue
F            C               Gm  
And we keep leaving scars on Mother Earth
Bb          C             Dm
And moving closer to the truth
