G5                C5               D5             G5   
In the blackness of the night I seem to wander endlessly 
       ( G5 )          C5          D5              
with a hope burning out deep inside 
      C5            D5          G5         E5   
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out 
         C5        D5          G5          E5   
For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt 
      G5                C5        D5    D5  
I'm alone and there is no one by my side 


       G5                C5             D5               G5   
In the blackness of the night I see a shadow passing by 
         ( G5 )          C5          D5              
from the heels of an old soldier boy. 
   C5             D5               G5            E5   
There's no comprimising and his eyes are black as the sky 
 C5         D5          G5        E5   
For this bad, bad world he is going to die. 
       G5                C5         D5    D5  
He's alone and there is no one by his side 



       G5                C5             D5            G5   
In the blackness of the night I see a sparkle of a star 
         ( G5 )            C5         D5              
from the sweet silver tear of a child 
          C5              D5             G5          E5   
and she's clutching at a photograph of long, long ago 
         C5            D5            G5            E5   
When her parents were happy she was too young to know 
        G5                C5         D5    D5  
she's alone and there is no one by her side 



 G5   C5   D5  
 G5   C5   D5
 C5   D5   G5   E5
 C5   D5  G5   E5   

      G5                C5         D5   D5               
I'm alone and there is no one by my side 



       G5                C5               D5             G5   
In the blackness of the night I seem to wander endlessly 
       ( G5 )          C5          D5              
with a hope burning out deep inside 
      C5            D5          G5         E5   
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out 
         C5        D5          G5          E5   
For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt 
      G5                C5        D5        D5  
I'm alone and there is no one by my side
