[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Clock strikes twelve and [G]moon drops burst
[F]Out at [E]you from their [Am]hiding place
Like acid and oil on a [G]madman's face
His [F]reasons [E]tend to [Am]fly away
Like [F]lesser birds on the [C]four winds, yeah
Like [F]silver scrapes in [E]May
[Am]Now the sands be[G]come a crust
And [F]most of [E]you have [Am]gone away
Hm, yeah gone away

[Verse 2]
Come [Am]Susy dear, let's [G]take a walk
[F]Just out [E]there up[Am]on the beach
I know you'll soon be [G]married
And you [F]want to [E]know
where the [Am]winds come from
Well it's [F]never said at [C]all
On the [F]map that Carrie [E]reads
Be[Am]hind the clock back [G]there you know
[F]At the [E]four winds [Am]bar

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Four winds at the four winds [F]bar
[G]Two doors locked and win[Am]dows barred
[Am]One door let to take y[F]ou in
The [G]other one just mir[Am]rors it

[Interlude 2]
[Am][F][G][Am]
[Am][F][G][Am]

[Verse 4]
In [Am]hellish glare and in[F]ferece
The [G]other one's a du[Am]plicate
The queenly flux, eternal [F]light
[G]Or the light that never [Am]warms
Yes the light, that nev[F]er,
[G]never war[Am]ms
Yes the light, that nev[F]er,
[G]nev[F]er [G]warms
[G]Nev[F]er [G]warms, [G]nev[F]er [G]warms

[Verse 5]
The [Am]clock strikes twelve
and [G]moon drops burst
[F]Out at [E]you from their [Am]hiding place
Miss Carrie nurse and [G]Suzy dear
Would [F]find them[E]selves at the [Am]four winds bar
It's the [F]nexus of the [C]crisis
And the [F]origin of [E]storms
[Am]Just the place to [G]hopelessly
En[F]counter [E]time and [Am]then came me

[Verse 6]
[Am]Call me Desano[F]va, [G]eternal lig[Am]ht
These gravely digs of [F]mine
Will [G]surely prove a [Am]sight
And don't forget my [F]dog,
[G]fixed and [Am]consequent

[Interlude 5]
