Biography:
Richard Shindell (born 3 August 1960, Lakehurst, New Jersey) is an American folk singer. While dividing his time between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and New York's Hudson Valley, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, and juxtapose ideas and images.
Shindell's songwriting often involves storytelling from a first-person point of view: for example, from an INS officer and illegal immigrant in "Fishing", to a World War II soldier in "Sparrows Point"

Richard Shindell - A Tune For Nowhere
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C F C G C F G F C G
C F C G C
She wonders if the flags are waving still
F C G
She likes to see their colours on the hill
Am G F C G
Almost like a rainbow over all of this
C F C G C
She will fly the flag of nowhere
F C G
Hidden with the ribbons in her hair
Am G F G
Anywhere she goes she knows it's always there
Am F G C F C G C
Never far away from nowhere
F C G C
Nowhere is a place inside her head
F C G
She is not its only citizen
Am G F C G
No one knows how many souls there may remain
C F C G C
Carrying a torch for nowhere
F C G
Nowhere doesn't have a government
Am G F G
And no one can decide how far it may extend
Am F G C F C G C
She will not surrender nowhere
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C G C F C G Am F C G
C F C G C
She is learning how to play the flute
F C G
Just because she always wanted to
Am F C G
She practices her lessons every afternoon
C F C G C
Up and down the scales of nowhere
F C G
Stumbling across Au Clair de Lune
Am G F G
Hour after hour in her basement room
Am F G C F C G C
Making up a tune___ for nowhere
