For dignity

For dignity
 
[Bridge 1]

 Dignity is a woman that knows
A                              E
 Dignity moves like a tropical wind that blows
         A       E
Into the cities, into the towns
         F#m                  | B | A/B    E/B B7 |
Into the land of the midnight sun
 
[Verse 3]
E
 I’m searchin’ high, I’m searchin’ low

 Searchin’ everywhere I know

 Askin’ the cops wherever I go

[Verse 4]

Drunk man listens to a voice he hears
     E
In a crowded room, full of covered-up mirrors

Looking to the lost forgotten years
    E
For dignity
 
[Verse 5]

Don Juan was talking to Don Miguel
E
Standin' outside the gates of Hell
       A                                           E
There ain't nothing to say, there ain't nothing to tell
      E        | Esus4 E |
'bout dignity
 
[Bridge 2]
B
 Dignity is a woman unspoiled
A                                      E
 By fame and greed and snakes that are coiled
       A                  E
In the damp woods, on the river's edge
         F#m                    | B | Bsus4 |
Near the green, green grass of home
 
[Verse 6]
E
Pull into the platform, step off the train
E
 Walk thirty steps, it begins to rain
A                                      E
 I'm asking somebody with water on his brain
     E
Have you seen dignity?

[Verse 7]
E
 Cities in a mess of jackhammer beats
E
 Buses roll by with burned-out seats
A                                         E
 A child's eyes look through the creeping streets
    E         | Esus4 E |
For dignity
 
[Verse 8]
E
 Prince Phillip was talking to Miss Mary Lou
         E
She said don't let nobody see me talking to you
       A                          E
She's afraid to tell him what she knew
  E            | Esus4 E |
About dignity
 
[Bridge 3]
B
 Dignity is a woman that's light
A                           E
 She don't tease, she don't travel at night
A                        E
 Dignity is a woman that bleeds
         F#m             | B B/A B/G# B/F# | % |
Like the hot Egyptian sun

 I'm looking east, looking west

 See people cursed, see people blessed

Have you seen dignity?

[Verse 10]
E
 Blind man breaking out of a trance
E
 Puts both of his hands in the pockets of chance

 Hoping to find one circumstance
        E    | Esus4 E |
Of dignity
 
[Verse 11]
E
 Englishman stranded in the blackheart wind
E
 Combin’ his hair back, his future looks thin
A                                  E
 Bites the bullet and he looks within
         E    | Esus4 E |
For dignity
 
[Bridge 4]
B
 Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed
A                        E
 Dignity never been photographed
A                        E
 Dignity got no starting-point
     E                      | B B/A B/G# B/F# | % |
No beginning, no middle, no end
 
[Verse 12]
E
 Looking at a glass that's half-filled
E
 Looking at a dream that's just been killed
A                               E
 Asking everybody that's strong-willed
E             Esus4 E
Have you seen dignity?
