SONG - SMALL FISH
(The first thing that I saw as}
F
The fisherman smiled at me
F# A
Were fields of empty people
F
Floating out to sea
F# A
The rain lashed down in darkness
Em Bm Bm/B
A lizard blinked an eye
A G A
And time stopped in the silence
G F#
The small fish gave a cry
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
F# A
The next thing that I saw as,
F
Things were fading fast
F# A
Were dreams of children's laughter,
F
Smouldering to dust
F# A
The rain lashed down in darkness
Em Bm Bm/B
A lizard blinked an eye
A G A
And time stopped in the silence (PLAY FILL IN PART)
G F#
The small fish gave a cry
