Em7 B7+       E/G#
No  cloud, a sleepy calm,
A7+/G#                F#m7             B6
Sunbaked earth that's cooled by gentle breeze,
             F#m9          B7/13
And trees    with rustling leaves,
     E7/9           E7/9-
Only endless days without a care,
Bm              Em7
Nothing must be done.
B7+         E/G#
Silent as a day can be,
A7+/G#            F#m7      B6
Far-off sounds of others on their chosen run
F#m9     B7/13        E7/9
As they  do all those things
               E7/9-
they feel give life some meaning,
Bm              Em7
Even if they're dull.

     D7+          C/D  G/D
It's time to stop this dreaming,
       D7+      C/D  G/D
must rejoin the real world
D7+         C/D  G/D
As revealed by   orange lights
D7+         C/D  G/D
and a smoky at - mosphere.

    Ebm             B
The trees and I are shaken by
    Bbm                C#
the same wind but whereas
    B7+                   Ebm
The trees will lose their withered leaves,
  Bbm                G#m7
I just can't seem to let them loose.
Ebm              B
And they can't refresh me
      Bbm              C#
those hot winds of the south.
B7+/Bb            C#/G#
Oh I feel like an alien,
   B7+/Bb        C#/G#
a stranger in an alien place.

B7+              E/G#
Now the light is fading fast,
A7+/G#        F#m7             B6
Chances slip away, a time will come to pass
F#m9             B7/13
When there'll be none,
      E7/9         E7/9-
Then addicted to a perfumed poison,
Bm                   Em7
Betrayed by its aftertaste,

D7+              C/D  G/D
Oh we shall lose the wonder
         D7+        C/D  G/D
and find nothing in re - turn.
D7+      C/D G/D
Many are the substitutes
            D7+       C/D      G/D
but they're powerless on their own.

Ebm        B               Bbm             C#
Beware the fisherman who's casting out his line
B7+             Ebm
Into a dried up river bed,
          Bbm                     G#m7
But don't try to tell him 'cos he won't believe you.
Ebm                     B                   Bbm         C#
Throw some bread to the ducks instead, it's easier that way.

B7+            Ebm
I feel like an alien,
   Bbm           G#m7
a stranger in an alien place.

Ebm                 B             Bbm             C#
The trees and I are shaken by the same wind but whereas
B7+                       Ebm
The trees will lose their withered leaves,
  Bbm                G#m7
I just can't seem to let them loose.
Ebm              B              Bbm              C#
And they can't refresh me those hot winds of the south.

B7+            Ebm
I feel like an alien,
   Bbm           G#m7
a stranger in an alien place.
