----------------------------------------------------- 7.Lovers' Eyes Capo 2
Love was Ckind, for a time Now just Gaches and it makes me Cblind
This mirror holds my eyes too bright
I can't Gsee the others in my Clife
Were we too Cyoung? And heads too strong? To bear the wGeight of these lover's eCyes.
'Cause I feel numb, beneath your tongue
Neath the Gcurse of these lover's Ceyes.
But do not aFsk the price I pCay, I must lGive with my quiet rCage, Tame the gFhosts in my hCead, That run Gwild and wish me Cdead. Should you shake my Fash to the Cwind Lord, foGrget all of my Csins Oh, let me Fdie where I Clie Neath the Gcurse of my lover's eCyes. C F
There's no Cdrink nor drug I tried To rid the Gcurse of these lover's Ceyes
And I feel numb, beneath your tongue
Your strength just maGkes me feel less sCtrong
But do not aFsk the price I pCay, I must lGive with my quiet rCage, Tame the gFhosts in my hCead, That run Gwild and wish me Cdead. Should you shake my Fash to the Cwind Lord, foGrget all of my Csins Oh, let me Fdie where I Clie Neath the Gcurse of my lover's eCyes. F C
And I'll walk sClow, I'll walkG sloCw Take my Amhand, help me Fon my waCy. And I'll walk sClow, I'll walkG sloCw Take my Amhand, I'll be Fon my waCy.
And I'll walk sClow, I'll walkG sloCw Take my Amhand, help me Fon my waCy. And I'll walk sClow, I'll walkG sloCw Take my Amhand, I'll be Fon my waCy.

14.The Boxer Capo 5
GI am just a poor boy Though my story's seldom Emtold I have Dsquandered my resistance For a pocket full of mumbles such are Gpromises All lies and Emjests Still a Dman hears what he Cwants to hear And disregards the GresDt G
When I Gleft my home and my family I was no more than a Emboy In the Dcompany of strangers In the quiet of the railway station Grunning scared Laying Emlow, seeking Dout the poorer qCuarters Where the ragged people Ggo Looking fDor the places Conly Dthey would Gknow
Lie-la-lEmie Lie-la-Bmlie la lie-la-lie Lie la Emlie Lie-la-Dlie la la la la lie la la la la Glie
Asking oGnly workman's wages I come looking for a Emjob But I Dget no offers, Just a come-on from the whores on SGeventh Avenue I do Emdeclare, there were Dtimes when I was so Clonesome I took some comfort tGhere
Then I'm lGaying out my winter clothes And wishing I was Emgone Going Dhome Where the New York City winters aren't blGeeding me EmBleeding me, goingD home
Lie la lie ...
In the cGlearing stands a boxer And a fighter by his Emtrade And he Dcarries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or Gcut him till he cried out In his Emanger and his shame "DI am leaving, IC am leaving" But the Gfighter still remains
Lie-la-lEmie Lie-la-Bmlie la lie-la-lie Lie la Emlie Lie-la-Dlie la la la la lie la la la la Glie -----------------------------------------------------
