Verse

D5              A5
Through the rain and all the clutter
F5           C5        G5
Under the Freemont bridge I saw a the pigeon fly
D5            F5              C5                 A5
Fly in fear from the raptor come to take its life

D5              A5
And as it dove in for the capture
F5     C5        G5
Funnelled the fear through my ancient eyes

D5              F5
Seeing flight, what I know are
     C5                    A5
The bitter mechanics of life


F5         G5                    E5             F5
Under my hat it breathes the lines are all imagined 
F5           G5             E5                   F5
A fact of life I know to hide from my little girl
F5           G5                E5                 F5
I know my place amongst the bugs and all the animals
F5                      E5
And this  from these ordinary people
            F5            G5
You were longing to be free

D5         A5
My hotel and on the TV
F5    C5           G5
A picture on the stage like a buzzard cries
D5             F5                C5              A5
Our a warning phony sorrow is trying to get a rise

D5      A5
Cyanide of an almond
F5        C5             G5
Let him look at your hands, get the angles right
D5               F5              C5                  A5
Ace of spades, Port of Morrow, life is death is life.


F5           G5          E5          F5
I saw a photograph of Cologne in ?27
F5           G5                E5        F5
A then a postcard after the bombs in ?45
F5                 G5             E5                   F5
Must have been a world of evil clowns that let it happen
F5            E5           
But now I recognise in these eyes
               F5               G5
That you were there and so was I

Under my hat it breathes the lines are all imagined 
F5           G5             E5                   F5
A fact of life I must impress on my little girl
F5           G5                E5                 F5
I know my place amongst the creatures in the pageant
F5                E5
And there are flowers in the garbage
         F5               G5
And a skull under your curls

Note: I initially had the verse second part of the verse chords as
D5               A5              C5                  A5
Ace of spades, Port of Morrow, life is death is life.
 for example, with another A in place of the F. It sounded right to me, but I went 
by the bass and used an F, part of me is still unsure about it.
