Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Dm
It's in the grain of the wood
It's in the needle's rust
C
It's in the eagle's claw
Dm
It's in the eyes you trust
It's in the jackal's dreams
It's in the sleet and the hail
C
It's in the unmarked box
Dm
That came today in the mail
It's in the dead man's pocket
It's in the child's first sin
C
It's in the Constitution
Dm
Written in very small print
It's in Colin Powell's lies
It's in the shaman's trance
C
It's in the cellar waiting
Dm
And it's in the best laid plans
F C
We could cut and run
Dm
And take half the blame
C
Don't stop now
G
That's why we came
House gone up in flames
Dm
It's in the National Anthem
It's in the scurrying roach
C
It's in the closed partition
Dm
Tween first class and coach
It's in the relentless fever
It's in the lonely room
C
It's in the hands of fate
Dm
And it's in the pharaoh's tomb
It's in the rich man's dreams
It's in the poor man's hands
C
It's in the body bags
Dm
Along the Rio Grande
It's in the evening shade
It's on the zealot's tongue
C
It's in the widow's tears
D minor
And it's in the miner's lungs
F C
We could cut and run
Dm
And take half the blame
C
Don't stop now
G
That's why we came
House gone up in flames
Dm
It's in the moon's dark spin
It's in the cloudless sky
C
It was in St Peter's denial
Dm
That he'd thrice deny
It's in the distant thunder
It's in the whispered prayer
C
That they won't find us hidden here
Dm
Beneath the stairs
So consider yourself lucky
And watch what you say
C
I got what I wanted
Dm
You might get the same
It's in the bold print nailed
To the cathedral door
C
It's in the black cold pressure
Dm
On the ocean floor
F C
We could cut and run
And take half the blame
Don't stop now
That's why we came
House gone up in flames

The Nylons
