Two Ragged Soldiers
(Engel)


	C(add9)
	They spoke transparent phrases to looking glass women
	
	    Ebmaj7                     Dm(add9)      Abmaj7
	And they took the detours that scattered the way
	
	     C(add9)                   Bbmaj7
	They departed from summer like two ragged soldiers
	
	Gbm7                               Dm(add9) Dm6 Dm7 G7(b5) G7
	Dragging their heels through their fantasies
	
	
	
	           C(add9)
	There were meals in the missions for two frozen statues
	
	    Ebmaj7                  Dm(add9)      Abmaj7
	And long draughty sermons devouring their knees
	
	          C(add9)                    Bbmaj7
	Sometimes passions in winter turn to cold soundless moments
	
	     Gbm7                        Dm(add9) Dm6 Dm7 G7(b5) G7
	That teared in the eyes of their fantasies
	
	
	
	           C(add9) 
	There were nights on park benches, stale bread for the pigeons
	
	     Ebmaj7                Dm(add9)     Abmaj7
	Good mornings to faces who just turned away
	
	       C(add9)                 Bbmaj7
	And on one road confusion, the other desire
	
	        Gbm7                      Dm(add9) Dm6 Dm7 G7(b5) G7
	So they took to the road of their fantasies
	
	
	
	          C(add9)
	One would speak of a lake where he used to go swimming
	
	    Ebmaj7                Dm(add9)     Abmaj7
	The other had no memories left for his mind
	
	           C(add9)                    Bbmaj7
	With their arms round each other, the two ragged soldiers
	
	Gbm7                            Dm(add9) Dm6 Dm7 G7(b5) G7
	Laughed through a war that they couldn't see
	
	C                               Bbmaj7
	Laughed for a world filled with fantasy
