            Bm (x24432@1)Dan Treacy's eyes


Part A (1:43 - 2:01)

Note:
The chords from "In the middle..." to "...lark" are not actually played in the song, but
for things like acoustic covers I thought it might be helpful to include them, so I did.

	D (xx0232@1)                          Gbm (244222@1)	In the middle of the park

	         G (320003@1)when the underground is dark,

	                   Bbdim.

	D (xx0232@1)                             Gbm (244222@1)	And when the creeks run dry

	         G (320003@1)he stays frozen in time

	                      Bbdim.
	strange lights in the sky

	      D (xx0232@1)start blinking

	              Gbm (244222@1)I can see the car outside 


Part E (2:02 - 2:11)


	Em (022000@1)But he's listening, ooh ooh ooh ooh
