Bright Eyes Mike Batt
G C G Em C G
Is it a kind of dream, floating out on the tide
D D/C G C Am7 D
Following the river of death downstream oh is it a dream
D7 G C G Em C G
Theres a fog a long the hor i zon, A strange glow in the sky
D D/C G C B/D#
And nobody seems to know where you go and what does it mean
C#dim G/D D7 G
Oh oh is it a dream?
Bm C D7 Bm C
Bright Eyes burning like fire,Bright eyes how can you close
B7/D# Em D7/F# G C
and fail, How can the light that burned so brightly suddenly
Am D7 G Em C
burn so pale bright eyes
is it a kind of shadow reaching into the night?
Wandering over the hills unseen or is it a dream
Theres a high wind in the trees A cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows when you go and when do you start
Oh oh into the dark
Bm C D7 Bm C
Bright Eyes burning like fire,Bright eyes how can you close
B7/D# Em D7/F# G C
and fail, How can the light that burned so brightly suddenly
Am D7 G
burn so pale bright eyes [REPEAT LAST STANZA]
