[Verse 1]
G               C   G
Is it a kind of dre-am
Em                  C  G
Floating out on the ti-ide
D             D/C      G         C
Following the river of death downstream
   Am      D      [ Dsus4 D ]
Or is it a dream
 
 
[Verse 2]
          G                C G
There's a fog along the hori-zon
  Em                  C   G
A strange glow in the sky-y
    D      D/C           G         C
And nobody seems to know where you go
                 B7
And what does it mean
Edim7 G/D D      | G |      G
Oh,   oh  is it a dream [ break ]
 
 
[Chorus]
       Bm    C            D
Bright eyes, burning like fire
       Bm    C                     Am
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail
B7/D#       Em         D/F#      G
How can the light that burned so brightly
C                Am    D7    [ G ]
Suddenly burn so pale, bright eyes
 
 
[Interlude]
| G | % | Em | % | C | % |
 
 
[Verse 3]
G               C    G
Is it a kind of sha-adow
Em                 C  G
Reaching in to the ni-ight
D         D/C      G       C
Wandering over the hills unseen
   Am      D       [ Dsus4 D ]
Or is it a dream
 
 
[Verse 4]
          G                C   G
There's a high wind in the tre-es
  Em                C  G
A cold sound in the ai-ir
    D      D/C        G        C
And nobody ever knows when you go
                 B7
And where do you start
Edim7 G/D D       | G |     G
Oh,   oh  into the dark [ break ]
 
 
[Chorus]
       Bm    C            D
Bright eyes, burning like fire
       Bm    C                     Am
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail
B7/D#       Em         D/F#      G
How can the light that burned so brightly
C                Am    D7    | G | % |
Suddenly burn so pale, bright eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
       Bm    C            D
Bright eyes, burning like fire
       Bm    C                     Am
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail
B7/D#       Em         D/F#      G
How can the light that burned so brightly
C                Am    D7    |  G  |  %  |  %  |  G
Suddenly burn so pale, bright eyes
