Conversation Piece

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