Jay Farrar - Different Eyes
INTRO: G
Would the clouds in your head all fade away?
C
Would song and dance start and find a parade?
Would the Shroud of Turin be upstaged?
G
Would the pull of the earth be enough of a weight?
Em
Would it be crystal clear to gauge?
CHORUS:
D Em
If I raised my hand for the wrongs
D C
Raised my hand for the wrongs___
Em
Raised my hand for the wrongs
D
Raised my hand for the wrongs
INSTRUMENTAL: C-G-D-G-C-D (2x) G
It's more a question of different eyes
C
Looking in the same old places
A horizontal stretch of movement
G
Catching up, then caught, but losing
Em
It's a native tongue equation
CHORUS:
D Em
Raised my hand for the wrongs
D C
Raised my hand for the wrongs___

Raised my hand for the wrongs
