eyed Boy From Freecloud

David Bowie


 DD/C#D/CD/BBb6CE7susE7DD/C#D/CD/BBb6
                                      Solemn faced the village settles down, undetected by the stones
 AA#dim
And the hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to
 DD/C#D/CD/BBb6
 Sleep, and the last thing on his mind
 AA#dim
is the wild-eyed boy imprisoned 'neath the
 DD/C#D/CD/BBb6
 covered wooden shaft,    folds the rope into it's bag.
 AA#dim
 Blows his pipe of smolders,  blankets
 DD/C#D/CD/BBb6
 smoke into the room, and the day will end for some.
 CGFE7susE7
 As the night begins for one.  
(Chords the same until they pick up again)
Staring through the message in his eyes lies a solitary son
from the mountain called the freecloud where the
eagle dare not fly, and the patience in his sigh
gives no indication for the
townsmen to decide, so the village dreadful groans
Pronouncing gross diversion as the
label for the dog. Ooo it's the madness in his eyes
 CG
As he breaks the night to cry
 DD/C#D/CD/BBb6
Its really me,       really you and really me
 AA#dim
 It's so hard for us to really
 DD/C#D/CD/BBb6
 be,      Really you, really me,
 AA#dim
You'll lose me though I'm always really
 DD/C#D/CD/BCCCC
 free.      
 CC7
And the mountain moved it's eyes to the world and realized
 BbAbCE7susE7
Where the snow had saved a place for the wild-eyed boy from free cloud 
(Same chords)
And the village dreadful cried as the moat began to rise
For the smile stayed on the face of the wild-eyed boy from freecloud.
 GC
And the women once proud clutched the heart of the crowd
 GC
as the boulders smashed down from the mountains hand.
 AmC
And the magic in the stare of the wild-eyed boy said
 AmCE7susE7
 "Stop Free Cloud, they won't think to cut me down, no, no, no!"
 FCFC
But the cottages fell like a playing card hell
 BbFC
and the tears on the face of the wise boy
 FCFC
came trembling down to the rumbling ground
 BbFC
and the missionary mystic of peace/love
 DD/C#D/CD/BBb6
 Stumbled back to cry among the clouds  
 AA#susDD/C#C
 Kicking back the pebbles from the Free Cloud mountain's track.
