[Intro] B  F#  E  B  F#  E  B

                    F#
She went off to the city
   E                         B
To find what she was looking for
                F#
To identify, to really try
   E                 B
To find herself some hope
                        F#
With the summer sun for laughing
     E
Then the winter rain did pour
    B                 F#
She was lovelier from learning
    E                   B
And from living, loving more

                        F#
From her dancing loving young soul
        E              B
And the gypsies in her dream
                        F#
To the pulse of stark acceptance
         E              B
When the winds begun to freeze
                        F#
With no curfews left to hold her
    E
And no walls to shield her pain
   B                        F#
Finding out that facts were older
         E                B
And that life forms are insane

                   F#
The presence of protection seemed
   E                B
To fade, as did her doubt
                      F#
That she now was no exception
            E                   B
Nor was the love who pushed her out
                                   F#
Though the streets cried out, "go, homesick"
       E
Virtue strength of mind would ring
   B               F#
In the melodies of meaning
    E                       B
The sad song she learned to sing

( B  F#  E  B  F#  E  B )

                        F#
Now her teachers and philosophers
        E             B
And the poet's silver throat
                         F#
Are the vessels which on wisdom's
       E              B
Karmic ocean she will float
                 F#
Was this her revolution?
     E
Just a child in love's crusade
     B                   F#
With the question in her innocence
            E               B
Through the lies her eyes betrayed

( B  F#  E  B  F#  E  B )
