Words & music by Paul Simon 1989


F#m |
Moves like a fist through traffic

|
Anger and no one can heal it


Shoves a little bump into the momentum

|
It's just a little lump

|
But you feel it in the...

F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
In the creases and the shadows

F#m G#m A G#m|F#m G#m A G#m|
With a rattling deep emo-tion

F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
The cool, cool riv-er

F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
Sweeps the wild, white ocean


F#m11 |
Yes Boss. The government handshake

|
Yes Boss. The crusher of language


Yes Boss. Mr. Stillwater,

| |
The face at the edge of the banquet

F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
The cool, the cool riv-er

F#m G#m A G#m|F#m G#m A G#m|
The cool, the cool riv-er


F#m11 | |Eadd9add11/B |F#m/A
I believe in the future

D/A |A D/A A |Eadd9add11/B
I may live in my car

| |F#m/A
My radio tuned to

D/A |A D/A A |Eadd9add11/B |
The voice of a star

|
Song dogs barking at the break of dawn

F#m/A D/A |A D/A A |
Lightning pushes the edge of a thunderstorm

Eadd9add11/B | |
And these old hopes and fears

F#m/A D/A |A D/A A | |F#m | |
Still at my side


F#m |
Anger and no one can heal it

|
Slides through the metal detector


Lives like a mole in a motel

| |
A slide in a slide projector


F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
The cool, cool riv-er

F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
Sweeps the wild, white ocean

F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
The rage, the rage of love turns inward

F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
To prayers of devotion

F#m
And these prayers are

| |
The constant road across the wilderness

|
These prayers are

|F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
These prayers are the memory of God

F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|F#m |
The memory of God


|Eadd9add11/B |F#m/A
And I believe in the future

D/A |A D/A A |
We shall suffer no more

Eadd9add11/B | |F#m/A
Maybe not in my lifetime

D/A |A D/A A |Eadd9add11/B |
But in yours I feel sure


|
Song dogs barking at the break of dawn

F#m/A D/A |A D/A A |
Lightning pushes the edge of a thunderstorm


Eadd9add11/B |D
And these streets

|A
Quiet as a sleeping army

|E7/G# |A |D/A |
Send their battered dreams to heaven, to heaven

E/B |A
For the mother's restless son

| |D/A |
Who is a witness to, who is a warrior

E/B|A
Who denies his urge to break and run


|
Who says: Hard times?

|
I'm used to them

D/A
The speeding planet burns

|
I'm used to that

E/B |A
My life's so common it disappears

| |D/A |
And sometimes even music

E/B |A |
Cannot substitute for tears


Repeat and fade:

F#m11 |
