Thru the Glass Darkly
By: Randy Stonehill
xcribed: d. baderman
Am G
1. I heard God was at the palace doin' a one night stand
Am G D
So I went out there to see him with my hope in my hand
Am G
He was just a boy of 15, without much to say
Bm C G
And when he started signing autographs, I walked away
Am G
2. I was standing on the corner, by the market place
Am G D
When a fella with some leaflets shoved one right in my face
Am G
Well he poked me with his bible like it was a loaded gun
Bm
And I said, "Whatever it is you're selling man,
C G
I don't want none"
D C G
CH: All our superstars are suicidal casualties
Am Am7 C G
And our heroes die in hotel rooms and motorcades
D C G
Oh it seems like all our dreams are only fantasies
Am Bm C *1
And I wonder if we'll learn from the mistakes we made
Am G
3. I bumped into Mr. Jimmy at a London hotel
Am G D
And he said let's get together, but he didn't look well
Am G
When I woke up in the morning all the papers read,
Bm C G
Jimmy Hendrix overdosed last night, in bed
D C G
All our superstars are suicidal casualties
Am Am7 C G
And our heroes die in hotel rooms and motorcades
D C G
Well it seems that all our dreams turn into tragedies
Am Bm C *1
And I wonder if we'll learn from the mistakes we made
Am G
4. Now I'm waiting at the bus stop for the bus to arrive
Am G D
And I know there must be more to life than staying alive
Am G
Well I don't know where I'm going when I climb in
Bm C G
But it can't be any emptier than where I've been
play 2 times
G D G Am G

Disclaimer: If this is not exactly like Randy's recording -
sorry - I've haven't heard this for many years - think I
learned it off an 8-trk tape, and this is how I play it now.
