LyriXML: The Last Days of June 1934 (Al Stewart )

F# B F# B F# B F#

The morning is humming, it's a quarter past nine C# B

I should be working down in the vines F# C# Ddim

But I'm lying here with a good friend of mine D#m G#m D#m

Wachting the sun in her hair D#m G#m D#m

I pick the grapes from the hills to the sea C# B

The fields of France are a home to me F# C# Ddim

But today lying here is such a good place to be D#m G#m D#m

I can't go anywhere D#m C# F# C#

So we slip in and out of embrace F# D#

Like some old and familiar place G#m D#m

Reflecting all of my dreams in her face like before B C# F# C#

On the last day of June 1934 F# B B/A# G#m F#

Just out of Cambridge in a narrow country lane C# B

A bottle-green Bentley in the driving rain F# C# Ddim

Slips and skids round a corner, then pulls straight again D#m G#m D#m

Heads up the drive to the door D#m G#m D#m

The lights of the party shine over the fields C# B

Where lovers and dancers watch catherine wheels F# C# Ddim

And argue realities digging their heels D#m G#m D#m

In a world that's finished with war D#m C# F# C#

And a lost wind of summer blows into the street F# D#

Past the tramps in the alleyways, the rich in silk sheets G#m D#m

And Europe lies sleeping, you feel her heartbeats through the floor B C# F# C#

On the last day of June 1934 F# B B/A# G#m

On the night that Ernst Roehm died voices rang out F# A

In the rolling Bavarian Hills B F#

And swept through the cities and danced in the gutters F# A

Growing strong like the joining of wills B F#

And echoed away like a roar in the distance F# A

in the moonlight carved out of steel B F#

Singing "All the lonely, so long and so long D#m C# D#m

You don't know me, I long, how I long D#m C# D#m

You can't hold me, I'm strong now, I'm strong D#m C# D#m

Stronger than your law" C# F#

I sit here now by the banks of the Rhine C# B

Dipping my feet in the cold stream of time F# C# Ddim

And I know I'm a dreamer; I know I'm out of line D#m G#m D#m

With the people I see everywhere D#m G#m D#m

The couples pass by me, they're looking so good C# B

Their arms round each other, they head for the woords F# C# Ddim

They don't care who Ernst Roehm was, no reason they should D#m G#m D#m

Just a shadow that hangs in the air D#m C# F# C#

But I thought I saw him cross over the hill F# D#

With a whole ghostly army of men at his heel G#m D#m

And struck in the moment it seemed to be real like before B C# F# C#
