Blackness of the Night

Cat Stevens

Verse 1
 CFGC
In the blackness of the night I seem to wander endless-ly,
 FG
With a hope burning out deep in-side,
 FGCAm
I'm a fugitive, comm-unity has driven me out,
 FG7CC/BAm
For this bad, bad world I'm be-ginning to doubt,
 CFG4G
I'm a-lone and there is no one by my side!  

Verse 2
 CFGC
In the blackness of the night, I see a shadow passing by,
 FG
From the heels of an old soldier boy,
 FGCAm
There's no compromising and his eyes are black as the sky,
 FG7CC/BAm
For this bad, bad world he is going to  die,
 CFG4G
He's a-lone and there is no one by his side!  

Verse 3
 CFGC
In the blackness of the night, I see a sparkle of a star,
 FG
From the sweet silver tear of a child,
 FGCAm
And she's clutching at a photograph of long, long a-go,
 FG7CC/BAm
When her parents were happy, she was too young to  know,
 CFG4G
She's a-lone and there is no one by her side!  

Verse 4

I'm a-lone and there is no one by my side!  

Verse 5
 CFGC
In the blackness of the night I seem to wander endless-ly,
 FG
With a hope burning out deep in-side,
 FGCAm
I'm a fugitive,  comm-unity has driven me out,
 FG7CC/BAm
For this bad, bad world I'm be-ginning to  doubt,
 CFG4G
I'm a-lone and there is no one by my side!
