Standard (EADGBE)

 In the blackness of the night I seem to wander endlessly

 with a hope burning out deep inside

 I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out

 For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt

 I'm alone and there is no one by my side

 In the blackness of the night I see a shadow passing by

 from the heels of an old soldier boy.

 There's no comprimising and his eyes are black as the sky

 For this bad, bad world he is going to die.

 He's alone and there is no one by his side

 In the blackness of the night I see a sparkle of a star

 from the sweet silver tear of a child

 and she's clutching at a photograph of long, long ago

 When her parents were happy she was too young to know

 she's alone and there is no one by her side

 I'm alone and there is no one by my side

 In the blackness of the night I seem to wander endlessly

 with a hope burning out deep inside

 I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out

 For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt

 I'm alone and there is no one by my side
