Monochrome

D Em7 G A


[Verse 1]

D                             Em7
It's 4 in the morning July of '69
               G
Me and my sister
                          A
We crept down like shadows
D                                            Em7
They're bringing the moon right down to our sitting-room
              G                          A
Static and silence and a monochrome vision


[Chorus]

Bm
They're dancing around
       Em7
Slow puppets silver ground
          F#m                    Em
And the world was watching with joy
           Bm                         Em
We hear a voice from above and it's history
       F#m        Em        G
And we stayed awake all night


[Verse 2]

D                                         Em7
And something is said and the whole room laughs aloud
               G
Me and my sister
                      A
Looking on like shadows
D                                      Em7
The end of an age as we watched them walk in a glow
          G                            A
Lost in space, but I don't know where it is


[Chorus 2]

Bm
They're dancing around
       Em7
Slow puppets silver ground
          F#m                      Em
And the stars and stripes in the sand
           Bm                          Em
We hear a voice from above and it's history
        F#m       Em        G
And we stayed awake all night

[Chorus 3]
Bm
They're dancing around
             Em7
It sends a shiver down my spine
          F#m                Em
And I run to look in the sky and
                             Bm
I half expect to hear them asking to come down
            Em7
Oh, will they fly or will they fall?
         F#m  Em     G            D
To be excited by a long late night
