Intro: G  D     G  D 

verse 1 

Just paint a picture of the world 
   G             D 
In gentle pastel shades 

Indistinct and somehow blurred 
     G             D 
Like childhood escapades 
    Gm              D 
The painting box is rather dear 
        G                     A7 
But the paints themselves are cheap 
G 
Leave your pack at the side of the road 
                       D 
I'll show you where to sleep 


verse 2 

Dead brown weeds in a ditch at the side 
     G                D 
Of a field of burning corn 
  
The road opens out before you 
         G                   D 
Like the womb where you were born 
        Gm            D 
There's no need to pretend again 
   G                 A7 
To try and earn your keep 
G 
Leave your pack at the side of the road 
                       D 
I'll show you where to sleep 


Instrumental: D     G  D      G  D  Gm  D  G  A7  G      D 


Bridge 

    F#                 G 
And crowds will gather in the sun 
   A7             D 
As stone madonnas weep 
        F#            G 
And the shepherd is a good man 
                         A7 
As he tends his flock of sheep 


verse 3 
   D 
In case you find your tortoise shell 
   G              D 
Is getting rather tight 

You can wrap yourself in your magic cloak 
    G              D 
And disappear from sight 
    Gm                 D 
And I will stand guard over you 
   G                    A7 
As through the door you creep 
G 
Leave your pack at the side of the road 
                       D 
I'll show you where to sleep
