Jackie Leven, frontman of the band, died on the 14th of November 2011,
at the far too young age of 61. He had been very ill for a while.
His great music will live forever though, thanks Jackie!

Album : Doll By Doll (1981)
Capo : 1st Fret
|./. |: Repeat the previous Chord and Measure of 4-counts.
[Intro] (Fade in):
|G |: 5x
[Verse 1]
| |
I dressed you in the morning,
| |
for a journey through the past.
| |
We signed our names in shadows,
| |
that I promised you would last.
| |
Main travelled roads before us,
| |
passing slowly out of sight.
| |
The haunted valley chorus,
| | |./. |./. |./.
sweeping softly through the night.
[Verse 2]
| |
The last ones in were waiting,
| |
for their call to take the stage.
| |
And when the curtains opened,
| |
they stood like lovers in a cage.
| |
The crowd in perfect silence,
| |
closed their eyes to hide their shame.
| |
The dressing rooms are empty,
| | |./.
and nobody is to blame.
[Verse 3]
| |
I walked through fields of honour,
| |
where the gentle earth has bled.
| |
The young men are still fighting,
| |
and the forest tracks are red.
| |
The hotel lifts are broken,
| |
and the trains are running slow.
| |
The blind man at reception,
| | |./.
never missed a single show.
[Verse 4]
| |
Main travelled roads behind me,
| |
and a white bird in the sky.
| |
A secret sign to show me,
| | |
where the ocean comes to die.
|
I arose and left you,
| |
sleeping in your silent room.
| | |./. |./.
E-ternal is the warrior,
|C |G |./. |: Fade Out
who finds beauty in his wounds.
