Terminal Eyes by Al Stewart

Intro
-----
F# (244322@1)
F#Cut (244322@1)glass porcupine sailing on the Serpentine

Fingers on the skyline pulling down the black blinds

Terminal eyes at the edge of the night

Rivulet of dark wine moving in a straight line

Smudging out the stop signs, running down the life lines

Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
G#Shadows (xx1114@1)on the ceiling, coffee cup congealing,

Tarot cards revealing, a solitary feeling

Terminal eyes, but I think it's alright
C#Silver (x43121@1)studded jet plane screaming through the migraine

Cutting through the cellophane, wrappers of your tired brain

Terminal eyes - put out the light

Chorus
B (x2444x@1)                     D (xx0232@1)       E (022100@1)  BTerminal (x2444x@1)Eyes, only the lonely Arabian skies

Terminal Eyes, calling you home from your restless disguise.

F# (guitar solo)

Verse 2
-------
F#Hands (244322@1)of the windmill moving to a standstill

Rain on the windowsill, ashes on the phone bill

Terminal eyes at the edge of the night

Rain drop fire-flies sparkle on the shop blinds

Echoes of the summertime flicker in the street-signs

Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
G#Shadows (xx1114@1)on the ceiling, coffee cup congealing

Eyes that look unseeing, hands that move unfeeling

Terminal eyes, I think it's alright
C#Silver (x43121@1)studded sea plane breaking through the migraine

Cutting throught the cellophane, enveloping your tired brain

Terminal eyes: put out the light

Chorus
