Verse 1

Daryl Johnson vocals/tom tom
[E]The streets are [C#m]cracked
And there's glass [E]everywhere
And a baby stares [A]out
With motherless [E]eyes
Under long gone [C#m]beauty
On fields of [E]war
Trapped in [A]lament
To the poet's [E]core
Oh [C#m]where[E] oh [A]where will I [E]be
Oh [C#m]where [E]oh when that [A]trumpets [E][C#m]sounds[E][A][E]
[E]Met an Indian [C#m]boy in [E]Ottawa
He laid me [A]down on a bed of [E]straw
Said don't waste your [C#m]breath don't waste your [E]heart
Don't blister your [A]heels
Running in the [E]dark
Oh [C#m]where[E] oh [A]where will I [E]be
Oh [C#m]where [E]oh when that [A]trumpets [E]sounds
[C#m]Yea like the [E]heat
Of your [A]body laying under [E]me
May your [F#m]wild lip get you where your [A]going
With your [F#m]inventions your intentions your [A]laughter
Your forever [E]yearning
Oh [C#m]where[E] oh [A]where will I [E]be
Oh [C#m]where [E]oh when that [A]trumpets [E][C#m]sounds[E][A][E]
I walked to the [C#m]river
And I walked to the [E]rim
I walked thru the [A]teeth of the reaper's [E]grin
I walked to [C#m]you rolled up in [E]wire
To the other [A]side of [E]desire
Oh [C#m]where[E] oh [A]where will I [E]be
Oh [C#m]where [E]oh when that [A]trumpets [E]sounds
Oh [C#m]where[C#m/B] [A] oh [C#m]where [C#m/B] [A]oh [F#m]when[A] that [D]trumpet [E]sounds
Oh [C#m]where[C#m/B] [F#m]oh where oh [D]when that trumpet [E]sounds
[E]Well the heart opens [C#m]wide like it's never seen [E]love
And addiction [A]stays on tight like a [E]glove
Oh [C#m]where[E] oh [A]where will I [E]be
