Hiding out I look over chequered fields And the towering web of steel The young and old will sit and judge unfeeling While the empty churches bells are pealing, pealing out And the green hills lay ignored and untended Lonely watchers remain unbefriended, without a friend And out in the one-way streets Is a swelling maze, without a door I am safe -- hidden here Eb Ab I am safe hidden here... Cm I am safe Eb Ab I am safe hidden here... hiding out =============-----================== litgo@aol.com and erick@ccbr.umn.edu
