                         A7                   C 
My eyes were open, but I couldn't see no-how 
                            G                  D  G 
Words were spoken, but they couldn't be true 
                          A7 
Here's a singer with some time on her hands 
         C                     G 
What can I do now, where's the Band? 
         A7        C                  G 
What can I do now, where, where's the Band? 
  
  
                             A7                    C 
The sun was shining, but the day was dark as night 
                G           D    G 
Darkness miming vision and light 
                                   A7 
When the fleeting moments asked if I'd like to dance 
         C 
I said, "Yes, I might" 
         Em     C 
I said, "Yes, I might" 
         A7 
I said, "Yes, I might 
   C           A         G 
Oh where, oh where's the Band?"
