The Parade, by The Knife
D
In the middle of nowhere,
A
When we're looking for something,
G A D
?Then we raise our heads for the colour red?,
D
I am too a spirit,
A
And a wanderer?,
G A D
And I welcomed the dew as much as you did,
(Instrumental interlude)
D A G A D
D A G A D
D
When we’re looking for brushwood,?
A
In the nearest neighbourhood,
G A D
?Then we follow the sky with the eye,
D
?We search vegetation,
A
And surprised by the rain?,
G A D
We're stumbling, tripping home again,
(Instrumental interlude)
D A G A D
D A G A D
(Chorus x2)
D
In the middle of nowhere,
A
When we're looking for something?,
G A D
Then we raise our heads for the colour red?,
D A
I am too a spirit and a walker,?
G A D
And I welcomed the dew as much as you did.
D A
We found the little man and his aeroplane,
G A D
?But we never located the animal,
D
?Examined the dirty ground,
A
?Like it’d never been done,
G A D
The modern exploring of nineteen ninety one.
(Instrumental outro)
