Am C G Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed. D Am Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams. Am C G In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed D Am To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams. Chorus: Am I and I G D Am In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives. Am I and I G D Am One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives. Think I’ll go out and go for a walk Not much happening here, nothing ever does Besides, if she wakes up now, she’ll just want me to talk I got nothing to say, specially about whatever was Chorus: I and I In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don’t win the race It goes to the worthy, who can divide the word of truth Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice’s beautiful face And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth Chorus: I and I In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives Outside of two men on a train platform there’s nobody in sight They’re waiting for spring to come, smoking down the track The world could come to an end tonight, but that’s all right She should still be there sleepin’ when I get back Chorus: I and I In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives Noontime, and I’m still pushing myself along the road, the darkest part Into the narrow lanes, I can’t stumble or stay put Someone else is speaking with my mouth, but I’m listening only to my heart I’ve made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot Chorus: I and I In creation where one’s nature neither honors nor forgives I and I One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
