lyrics

Reach for the Sigh

Em C
Full of the joys of spring
G F Am Em
and primed with the pride of youth;
F C Eb Bb
Ready to face the world and shine
Dm Am Dm
Find fortune, red in claw and tooth.

Eb Bb Cm Gm
But I'm no Douglas Bader,
Eb Bb Cm
strutting around on new tin legs;
Eb Bb Cm D
I'll never fly again or reach the sky
Em C G
Just slosh about in the dregs of regret

F#m Bm
So many chances of stardom
C#m F#m
Sunk in Mekhong, women and song,
D F#m C#m D
as though a well-read witty tongue
F#m Bm
Could atone for a lifetime of wrong.

So I'll reach for the sigh of sorrow
under blankets, underground, eyes closed tight
watch movies of Englishmen better than I,
fade into nothingness, out of mind out of sight
