Translucent Carriages chords
Pearls Before Swine 1968

D Dsus2 D 3x

    D    Dsus2 D  C
The translucent   carriages 
D               C
Drawing morning in 
D      Dsus2 D     C
Dawn inside  their pockets 
       D  Dsus2 D       C  Em D
Like a whisper   on the wind

G            F       C
Every time I see you
             F              Dsus2 D   D Dsus2 D
Passing by I have to wonder why


D Dsus2 D 2x

    D    Dsus2 D  C
The soft touch of your words 
D                      C
Has been betrayed like love grown old 
D      Dsus2  D       C
Or the silhouettes of children 
D      Dsus2 D            C   Em D      
Crying some  where in the cold 

G            F       C
Every time I see you
             F              Dsus2 D   D Dsus2 D
Passing by I have to wonder why

D Dsus2 D 2x

    D       Dsus2 D  C
The ancient night is coming back 
    D               C
The light is fading out 
    D       Dsus2 D  C
The tree is hid   in shadow 
     D   Dsus2 D       C   Em D
In a fog of    useless doubt 

G            F       C
Every time I see you
             F              Dsus2 D   D Dsus2 D
Passing by I have to wonder why

D Dsus2 D 2x

D   Dsus2 D   C
Go away   go away 
      D           C
The imperative is drawn 
D        Dsus2   D   C
All your symbols are shattered 
D        Dsus2  D         C   Em D
All your sacred words are gone 

G            F       C
Every time I see you
             F              Dsus2 D   D Dsus2 D
Passing by I have to wonder why

D Dsus2 D 2x


The caravans are leaving 

For the dawn of nothing 

Lepers carry roses 

To Jerusalem 

G            F       C
Every time I see you
             F              Dsus2 D   D Dsus2 D
Passing by I have to wonder why

D Dsus2 D 2x

In peace
Sons bury their fathers 
In war 
Fathers bury their sons 
Love is silent 

At the edge of the universe 
Waiting 
To come in 
Jesus raised the dead 
But who 

Will raise the living
Every time I see you passing by 
I have to wonder why
