Trojan Blues by Icehouse


Verse 1:

Am                    Fmaj7/A
The soldiers standing on the shore
              G               Am
take up their golden shields
               Fmaj7/A
You watch them from your room
            G           Am
high on the city wails
                       Fmaj7/A
In the distance on the shifting sea
           G               
a thousand coloured sails
            Am
Is this the moment you made
            Fmaj7/A
is this the way that you planned
            G
you know it won`t be long now

Chorus:

G          Dadd9
The finest treasures of kings
             E7sus4
all of those precious things
           Bb
they never tempted you
          Dadd9
So as you stood in the ruins
              E7sus4
how could you bear to look on
        Bb               C   G
as they burned for you?
           Dadd9
The broken pieces of clay
        E7sus4
and the palest eyes, painted in
Bb
Trojan blue

Verse 2:

Am                  Fmaj7/A
You remember how it used to be
              G
when you were just a girl
Am             Fmaj7/A
Nothing really mattered then
        G
you can remember so well
Am                        Fmaj7/A
How you used to hold your head so high
                G
those days will never return ..(to chorus)

Verse 3:

Am                      Fmaj7/A
Dust is drifting in the evening air
           G
across the field below
           Am                   Fmaj7/A
The silver mirror you hold will never tell...
              G
you turn your face away ..(to chorus)
