Verse 1
          C               F               G            C
In the blackness of the night I seem to wander endless-ly,
                     F           G
With a hope burning out deep in-side,
         F             G          C      Am
I’m a fugitive, comm-unity has driven me out,
          F         G7            C    C/B Am
For this bad, bad world I’m be-ginning to doubt,
       C                F             G4   G
I’m a-lone and there is no one by my side!


Verse 2
           C              F              G            C
In the blackness of the night, I see a shadow passing by,
                      F           G
From the heels of an old soldier boy,
               F         G                C           Am
There’s no compromising and his eyes are black as the sky,
          F         G7          C   C/B Am
For this bad, bad world he is going to  die,
        C                F              G4   G
He’s a-lone and there is no one by his side!


Verse 3
          C               F              G           C
In the blackness of the night, I see a sparkle of a star,
                        F         G
From the sweet silver tear of a child,
            F               G           C           Am
And she’s clutching at a photograph of long, long a-go,
            F           G7            C        C/B  Am
When her parents were happy, she was too young to  know,
          C               F              G4   G
She’s a-lone and there is no one by her side!


Verse 4
  C     F      G     C            F       G
| /  /  /  / | /  /  /  / | /  /  /  / |  /  /  /  / |
  F     G      C     Am     F     G7      C  C/B Am
| /  /  /  / | /  /  /  / | /  /  /  / |  /   /  /  / |
        C               F             G4   G
I’m a-lone and there is no one by my side!

Verse 5
           C             F                G             C
In the blackness of the night I seem to wander endless-ly,
                     F           G
With a hope burning out deep in-side,
         F              G         C       Am
I’m a fugitive,  comm-unity has driven me out,
          F        G7             C    C/B  Am
For this bad, bad world I’m be-ginning to  doubt,
        C               F             G4   G
I’m a-lone and there is no one by my side!
