INTRO
C Gm F Dm-Bb
C Gm F Dm-Bb
Am Am 

VERSE 1
Am 
Peace sign on the window
G        Dm
Japanese car
F        E            Dm
You will remember the pap on the radio
F          C            E              F
Big blue policeman says stay where you are
C                      E
Surrender your Chinese arms, Oh-oh-oh

VERSE 2
Am
Rock show Romeo
G               Am
Black and white shoes
C                   E
Strawberry haircut, in fist-pumping prime?
F              C         E                 F
Scrape off the dross and keep what you can use? 
   C                       E
And leave the weaker ones behind, oh-oh

CHORUS
     Dm              Bb       C
They step outside to step out slow  
                Dm               Bb       C
In vain trying to find a hole they can?t outgrow
               C
They evolve in time   
  Gm   
Wind finely on the vine
F                                C
Climbing toward the spots in the sun
             C
An unwelcome fate
    Gm    
May ferry all away
    F
But cold comfort flowers
               C
Will bloom and decay

MIDDLE 8
C Gm F Dm-Bb
C Gm F Dm-Bb
Am Am 

VERSE 3
Am
Pink clouds, summer sorrow
G         Dm
Oceanside swells 
  F              C
If you don?t feel pretty
          E
With your face in the tide?
      F            C         E       F
Well, file your complaint in weary detail
    C                          E
And tell the little people you tried Oh-oh

CHORUS
     
     Dm              Bb       C
They step outside to step out slow 
                 Dm               Bb       C
In vain trying to find a hole they can?t outgrow
               C
They evolve in time
     Gm   
Wind finely on the vine
F                                C
Climbing toward the spots in the sun
             C
An unwelcome fate 
   Gm    
May ferry all away
    F
But cold comfort flowers
                 C
Will blossom and fade

C Gm F C
C C F 
               C
They evolve in time
    Gm   
Wind finely on the vine
F                                C
Climbing toward the spots in the sun
             C
An unwelcome fate
    Gm    
May ferry all away
    F
But cold comfort flowers 
              C
Will bloom and decay
               C
They evolve in time
     Gm   
Wind finely on the vine
F                                C
Climbing toward the spots in the sun
            C
An unwelcome fate
    Gm    
May ferry all away
    F
But cold comfort flowers
               C
Will bloom and decay

C Bb F C
C Bb F C
C? (fade out)
