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

       C                F 
In the blackness of the night 
        G               C 
I see a shadow blasting by 
                     F           G 
from the heels of an old soldier boy. 
           F    
There's no compromising 
G                C            Am 
and his eyes are black as the sky 
         F        G           C        Am 
For this bad, bad world he is going to die. 
      C                 F             G 
He's alone and there is no one by his side 

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

C F G C  F G  F G C Am  F G C Am  C F G 

     C                 F            G 
I'm alone and there is no one by my side 

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