Through smoky shadowed blues of evening's fall
G                D               C

But somehow he does not see her at all
    G                  D                       C
For though his mellow, chrome-wheeled carriage glides
    G                 C                G

        G            D              C
Through galleries of endless stormy seas
   G                                C
He roams, bearing his brain to be unfilled
                      D                  G

He left his strings to melt into no song
