Gerry Rafferty

As Wise As A Serpent

by Gerry Rafferty
Gerry Rafferty

Biography:

Gerald "Gerry" Rafferty (16 April 1947 – 4 January 2011) was a Scottish singer-songwriter. In his early years, Rafferty earned money by the formerly illegal practice of busking on the London Underground. Poetically, his biggest hit, 1978's "Baker Street", discusses busking at a tube station and being a part of the street life. After working with Billy Connolly (now better known as a comedian) in an obscure outfit known as The Humblebums, he released his first solo album, called 'Can I Have My Money Back', in 1971.

[Intro]
Dsus4 F Am7 Dsus2

[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 Dsus2
Well we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away
Fmaj7 Dsus2
While the spirits come and go without a sound
Fmaj7 Dsus4 F Am7 Dsus2
And just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way, find a way, find a way home

[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 Dsus2
There's a full moon in the sky, but that don't worry me
Fmaj7 Dsus2
I don't ever hang my soul out on the line
Fmaj7 Dsus4 F Am7 Dsus2
When the witchin' hour comes, I always fly away, fly away, fly away home

[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C/G Dsus2
There's a light in the city, that comes down from above
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C/G Dsus2
Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C/G Dsus2
Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love
Fmaj7 C/G G7sus2 Dsus4 F Am7 Dsus2 Dsus4 F Am7 Dsus2
You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove

[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 Dsus2
Now you once asked me why we can't communicate
Fmaj7 Dsus2
But it doesn't always pay to tell the truth
Fmaj7 Dsus4 F Am7 Dsus2
If I told you right now, you'd only run away, run away, run away home

[Verse 4]
Fmaj7 Dsus2
So we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away
Fmaj7 Dsus2
While the spirits come and go without a sound
Fmaj7 Dsus4 F Am7 Dsus2
Yeah just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way, find a way, find a way home

[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C/G Dsus2
There's a light in the city, that comes down from above
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C/G Dsus2
Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C/G Dsus2
Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love
Fmaj7 C/G G7sus2 Dsus4 F Am7 Dsus2 Dsus4 F Am7 Dsus2
You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove
