VOICE IN THE DARK

C Am7
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Dm7 G7
ba ba ba ba
C Am7
ba ba ba ba
Dm7 G7
Ba ba ba ba ba

C Am7
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Dm7 G7 | Am6 | Am6 Gaug |
ba ba ba



C A7
You can read right through a book of matches
Dm7 G7
But that won’t make you smart
C C7
You can laugh in the face of watches
F Fm
But time will only break your heart

F Fm
Kings reign beneath umbrellas
C A7
Hide pennies down in cellars
Dm A7
And money pours down and yet
Dm7 G7
No everyone gets soaking wet

C F
When bores and bullies conspire
E7 A7
To stamp out your spark
D7
Listen for…
G7 C
A Voice In The Dark

C Am7 Dm7 G7
Not a moment too soon as we blue the moon
C Am7 Dm7 G7
And a wolf begins to howl in tune
C Am7 Dm7 G7
I announced for all mankind a boon
C C7
Stand aside you big baboon
F
Now I’m the a prize invention
Fm
You’re the image of yourself
C
Forget your cares
A7
And disapproving stares
D7
I’m not here to try to jump your borders
G7
Just ask your nieces and daughters
C Am7 Dm7 G7
I’m flat as sole, I’m happy as a clam
C Am7 Dm7 G7 [ C A/C# D7 G7 ]
But they don’t know the kind of man I am (alt for this line only)
C Am7 Dm7 G7
Little fish swimming in a jealous shoal
C C7
Now my net is overflowing
F Fm
And I suddenly seem to be all seeing and all knowing
C
I’ve got something right there
A7
That you might want to hear
D7
But have no fear
Lend a hand
Lend an ear
G7
If your rent-money is in arrears


C A7
We’ll be striking up a symphony bandstand
Dm7 G7
Long of hair and loose of tooth
C C7
There’ll be pirouettes and startling handstands
F Fm
And who but acrobats know how to tell the truth
F Fm
When is said that then redundant
C A7
They gallivant in peg-leg pants
Dm7
I‘ll be your servant
A7
You’ll be my pal
Dm7 G7
I’ll be ever faithful you know I shall
C F
There’s no fool like an old fool
E7 A7
Who blames it all upon his youth
Dm7 G7
When times are tough and you find you’re down
Em7 A7
Without a star to wish upon
D7 G7 C
Just listen for a Voice In The Dark


C A7
I was striking through a box of matches
Dm7 G7
Hoping that one would spark
C C7
I heard somebody calling to me
F
A voice in the dark

F Fm
A sound both wild and gentle
Em7 A7
Daring and confidential
Dm7 A7
I thought there was music playing
Dm7 G7
But it was all and only talk

C F E7 A7
When liars and bullies conspire to stamp out your spark
D7 G
Fill up that empty space in your heart
Em7 A7
Listen up, when the herald says, “Hark”
D7 G7 C
Believe in just a voice in the dark…
