Broken Window

• C

C:| x32013
C#dim?:| x43023 (alternatively, you can mute the high E too)
C6add9:| x30213

Chords are played in a steady rhythm, one chord per line. It sounds like the low note of
chords is dropped down to a C; this effect could be simulated by putting a capo on the
fret for all strings except the low E if you don't want to retune. (Only works if you 
a clamp capo).

C
Deep in the past, far in the future time
C#dim                               C
Deep in the past, far in the future time
C6add9                                                 C
Just 'cause no one saw you, that don't mean it ain't a crime

C
They say they know me but they only know my name
C#dim                                 C
They say they know me but they only know my name
C6add9                                                      C
They're through asking me questions, I ain't gonna learn to sing

C
If they want it they can take it, they don't need no reason why
C#dim                                                       C
If they want it they can take it, they don't need no reason why
C6add9                                                        C
The night they took you from me I saw the broken window and I cried

C
They bound my eyes and they bound my hands
C#dim                          C
They bound my eyes and they bound my hands
C6add9                                       C
Where they're gonna take me now? No one understands

C
They say they know me but they only know my name
C#dim                                 C
They say they know me but they only know my name
C6add9                                                      C
They're through asking me questions, I ain't gonna learn to sing

C
Lay their hands upon me now, it's midnight blue
C#dim                                   C
Lay the hands upon me now, it's midnight blue
C6add9                                   G
They didn't know me and they didn't know you, no, no
C
Now reduced to hide in the dark when they came for you

C
I gained the world but I lost your trust
C#dim                              C
I gained the world but I lost your trust
C6add9                                           C
they throw their money at you, it ain't easy to adjust

C
Come out, and put your hands on your head
C#dim                                       C
I said come out, and put your hands on your head
C6add9                                       C
Come and join the rest of us, we are already dead

C
If they want it they can take it, they don't need no reason why
C#dim                                                       C
If they want it they can take it, they don't need no reason why
C6add9                                                        C
The night they took you from me I saw the broken window and I cried

C
Woe unto them if they touch a hair on your head
C#dim                                      C
Woe unto them if they touch a hair on your head
C6add9                                           C
You're gonna join the rest of us, we are already dead

C
They won the battle, but the war is through
C#dim                               C
They won the battle, but the war is through
C6add9                                   G
They didn't know me and they didn't know you, no, no
C
Now reduced to knock in the dark when they came for you
