Echoes

Gene Clark


Tom: Am

       Bb
On the streets you look again
       C
At the places you have been
       G
Or the moments that you thought
           D
Where am I going
           Bb            
Though the walls are like the dead
       C 
They reflect the things you've said
        G                            D
And the echoes in your head continue showing
         C
Near the castles you can build
       Am
Out of dreams you half fulfilled
           E                               Em
Won't keep out all of the ill wind that is blowing
        C
And you look still for a trace
      Fmaj7
Of an opening in a place
          Fmaj7                               C
Where you find the life that you were used to knowing

[Verse 2]
        Bb
You can walk out in the night
       C
And be sure that its alright
     G                              D
To exaggerate the world that's only being
        Bb
You can watch Regina dance
            C
Through the crystal panes of glass
        G                                        D
Yet you know that there's so much that she's not seeing
          C
Still you hold one precious thought
      Am
After all this time you've sought
         E                                 Em
That she might be just protecting what she longs for
        C     
And her eyes are veiled with black
          Fmaj7
Cause she plays she can look back
       Fmaj7                          C
At the love she wanted so but says is no more

[Verse 3]
              Bb
The lights go on, commence the cold
        C
As your senses will be sold
       G                           D
To the parrot watchers mimicing no reasons
      Bb                      
To pretend that what they are
         C
From the fact completely far
          G                               D
While the truth may be betrayal, lies and treason

            C
Build their towers in the sand
         Am
Down the roads at their command
          E                                Em
While the kingdom is the innocence they're stealing
      C
And infection easily spreads
       Fmaj7
To the searching, twisted heads
        Fmaj7                            C
As they team up to tear down each others feeling
