  • Intro: Am(V) F(VIII) Am(V) F(VIII)
    Am(V) F(VIII) Am(V) F(VIII)
     
  • Note:
    F(VIII) may be at 3rd fret such as this -
     
  • e-5-|
    B-6-|
    G-5-|
  • D-3-|
    A-3-|
    E-x-|
  •  
    I think Mick Harvey is using application that similar
    to the one above but has difference:
  •  
    e-5-|
    B-6-|
  • G-5-|
    D-7-|
    A-x-|
  • E-x-|
     
    That one is good to use when you are playing with others
  • instruments, but I recommend you to use simple F(VIII)
    when you are playing alone.

  • Am(V) F(VIII)
    As I sat sadly by her side
    Am(V)
  • At the window, through the glass
    She stroked a kitten in her lap
    F(VIII) Am(V)
  • And we watched the world as it fell past
    F(VIII)
    Softly she spoke these words to me
  • Am(V)
    And with brand new eyes, open wide
    We pressed our faces to the glass
  • F(I) G Am
    As I sat sadly by her side
     
  • She said, "Father, mother, sister, brother,
    Uncle, aunt, nephew, niece,
    Soldier, sailor, physician, labourer,
  • Actor, scientist, mechanic, priest
    Earth and moon and sun and stars
    Planets and comets with tails blazing
  • All are there forever falling
    Falling lovely and amazing"
     
  • Then she smiled and turned to me
    And waited for me to reply
    Her hair was falling down her shoulders
  • As I sat sadly by her side
     
    As I sat sadly by her side
  • The kitten she did gently pass
    Over to me and again we pressed
    Our different faces to the glass
  • "That may be very well", I said
    "But watch the one falling in the street
    See him gesture to his neighbours
  • See him trampled beneath their feet
    All outward motion connects to nothing
    For each is concerned with their immediate need
  • Witness the man reaching up from the gutter
    See the other one stumbling on who can not see"
     
  • With trembling hand I turned toward her
    And pushed the hair out of her eyes
    The kitten jumped back to her lap
  • As I sat sadly by her side
     
    Then she drew the curtains down
  • And said, "When will you ever learn
    That what happens there beyond the glass
    Is simply none of your concern?
  • God has given you but one heart
    You are not a home for the hearts of your brothers
     
  • And God does not care for your benevolence
    Anymore than he cares for the lack of it in others
    Nor does he care for you to sit
  • At windows in judgement of the world He created
    While sorrows pile up around you
    Ugly, useless and over-inflated"
  •  
    At which she turned her head away
    Great tears leaping from her eyes
  • I could not wipe the smile from my face
    As I sat sadly by her side
