EVERY STRANGER'S EYES from The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking, 1984.

by Roger Waters

When I play this, it sounds pretty good when you embellish slightly on the

C, Am, and G chords (for instance I'll just hammer-on the D string for the

C & Am, and on the A for the G chord. Listen to the record and you'll hear

what I mean).

This is how I remember it...

Intro: C Am Dm G

C

In truck stops, and hamburger joints,

Am

In Cadillac limosuines, in the company of

Dm

Has-beens and bent-backs

G

And sleeping forms on pavement steps,

C

In libraries and railway stations,

Am

In books and banks,

Dm

In the pages of history

G C Am

And suicidal cavalry attacks I recognize

F G C

Myself in every stranger's eyes.

C

And in wheelchairs by monuments,

Am

Under tube trains, commuter accidents,

Dm

In council care and county courts,

G

At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts,

C

In drawing rooms and city morgues,

Am

In award-winning photographs of life-rafts on the China Seas,

Dm

In transit camps, under arc lamps, on unloading ramps,

G C Am

And faces blurred by rubber stamps I recognize

F G C

Myself in every stranger's eyes.

C Am Dm G

And now, from where I stand, upon this hill I've plundered from the pool

C Am Dm G

I look around, I search the sky, I shade my eyes so nearly blind

C C/G Am F

And I've seen sights of half-remembered days, I hear bells that chime in

strange,

G

familiar ways

C Am F G C F G Em Am Dm G

I recognize the hope you kindle in your eyes

C F G

It's oh, so easy now, as we lie here in the dark

Em Am Dm

Nothing interferes, it's obvious how to beat the tears that threaten to

snuff out the

G C CCC

smoke of our love.

C/G
