Conversation Piece

I [Am]took this walk to ease my [G] mind 
To find out what‘s gnawing at me [F] 
Wouldn‘t think, to look at me, 
that I‘ve [Am]spent a lot of time in education 
[G] It all seems so long ago 
I‘m a [Am]thinker, not a talker 
[G]I‘ve no-one to talk to, anyway 
 
I [Am]can‘t see the road 
for the [G]rain in my [F]eyes 
[Am]Ahhh,[G]ahhh,[F7]ah,[F]ah. 
 
I [Am]live above the grocers [G]store, 
owned by an [F]Austrian 
He often calls me down to eat 
And he [Am]jokes about his broken English, 
[G]tries to be a friend to me 
But for [Am]all my years of reading conversation, 
[G]I stand without a word to say 
 
I [Am]can‘t see the bridge 
for the [G]rain in my [F]eyes 
[Am]Ahhh,[G]ahhh,[F7]ah,[F]ah. 
 
And the [Am]world is full of [G]life 
Full of folk who don‘t know [F]me 
And they walk in twos or threes or more 
While the [Am]light that shines above the grocers store 
[G]investigates my face so rudely 
And my [Am]essays lying scattered on the floor 
[G]Fullfil their needs just by being there 
And my hands shake, my head hurts, 
my voice sticks inside my [F7]throat 
I‘m [Am]invisible and [G]dumb, 
no-one will recall [F]me 
 
And I [Am]can‘t see the water 
through the [G]tears in my [F]ey-y-yes
