Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Platters

(Video)

Verse 1-

C                Dm7
They asked how I knew,

G7               C     C+  F
my true love was true, oh, oh.

Cdim        Cmaj7
I of course replied-

Am7               Dm7   G7          C
Something here inside, cannot be denied

Break- C   Bbdim   Dm7   G+

Verse 2-

C                          Dm7
They said, some day you'll find

G7                 C      C+  F
all whose love are blind, oh, oh.

Cdim                 Cmaj7
When your heart's on fire,

Am7         Dm7   G7                 C
You must realize, smoke gets in your eyes.

Bridge- C   F   C   D#7

Chorus-

Ab                    
So I chaffed them and gaily laughed,

Abmaj7              Bbm7 Am7 Bb7 D#7 
to think they could doubt my love.

Ab                     G7     
Yet today, my love has flown away,

C      Cmaj7 G7 G+
I am without my love.

Verse 3-

C                      Dm7
Now laughing friends deride,

G7             C     C+  F
Tears I cannot hide, oh, oh.

Cdim           Cmaj7
So I smile and say-

Am7                  Dm7
When a lovely flame dies,

G7                 C
Smoke gets in your eyes.

Finale-

F
‚Ä¶in your eyes

C                  Fmaj C+
Smoke gets in your eyes

Dm7        Em/G    Cmaj7
Smoke gets in your eyes

Hurricane

[Verse 1]

Am                           F
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Am                             F
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
    Am                      F
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood
Am                     F
 Cries out My God they killed them all!

C                           F
Here comes the story of the Hurricane,
G C                        F
   The man the authorities came to blame
Dm                           C
 For something that he never done
Dm                        C   Em
 Put in a prison cell but one time 
              Am       F               C      G  
He could have been the champion of the world

[Verse 2]

Am                           F
Three bodies lyin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ there does Patty see
Am                           F
And another man named Bello, movin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ around mysteriously
Am                           F
I didn√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢t do it, he says, and he throws up his hands
Am                           F
I was only robbin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ the register, I hope you understand
C                           F
I saw them leavin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢, he says, and he stops
G C                        F
One of us had better call up the cops
Dm                           C
And so Patty calls the cops
Dm                        C   Em
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢
              Am       F               C      G
In the hot New Jersey night

[Verse 3]

Am                           F
Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Am                           F
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ around
Am                           F
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Am                           F
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
C                           F
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
G C                        F
Just like the time before and the time before that
Dm                           C
In Paterson that√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s just the way things go
Dm                        C   Em
If you√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢re black you might as well not show up on the street
              Am       F               C      G 
√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢Less you wanna draw the heat

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]

Am                           F
Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops
Am                           F
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ around
Am                           F
He said, I saw two men runnin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ out, they looked like middleweights
Am                           F
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates
C                           F
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head
G C                        F
Cop said, Wait a minute, boys, this one√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s not dead
Dm                           C
So they took him to the infirmary
Dm                        C   Em
And though this man could hardly see
              Am       F               C      G 
They told him that he could identify the guilty men

[Verse 5]

Am                           F
Four in the mornin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ and they haul Rubin in
Am                           F
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs
Am                           F
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ eye
Am                           F
Says, Wha√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢d you bring him in here for? He ain√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢t the guy!
C                           F
Yes, here√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s the story of the Hurricane
G C                        F
The man the authorities came to blame
Dm                           C
For somethin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ that he never done
Dm                        C   Em
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
              Am       F               C      G 
The champion of the world

[Verse 6]

Am                           F
Four months later, the ghettos are in flame
Am                           F
Rubin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s in South America, fightin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ for his name
Am                           F
While Arthur Dexter Bradley√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s still in the robbery game
Am                           F
And the cops are puttin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ the screws to him, lookin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ for somebody to blame
C                           F
Remember that murder that happened in a bar?
G C                        F
Remember you said you saw the getaway car?
Dm                           C
You think you√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢d like to play ball with the law?
Dm                        C   Em
Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ that night?
              Am       F               C      G 
Don√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢t forget that you are white

[Instrumental]

[Verse 7]

Am                           F
Arthur Dexter Bradley said, I√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢m really not sure
Am                           F
Cops said, A poor boy like you could use a break
Am                           F
We got you for the motel job and we√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢re talkin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ to your friend Bello
Am                           F
Now you don√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢t wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow
C                           F
You√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ll be doin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ society a favor
G C                        F
That sonofa is brave and gettin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢ braver
Dm                           C
We want to put his ass in stir
Dm                        C   Em
We want to pin this triple murder on him
              Am       F               C      G 
He ain√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢t no Gentleman Jim

[Instrumental]

[Verse 8]

Am                           F
Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
Am                           F
But he never did like to talk about it all that much
Am                           F
It√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s my work, he√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢d say, and I do it for pay
Am                           F
And when it√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s over I√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢d just as soon go on my way
C                           F
Up to some paradise
G C                        F
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
Dm                           C
And ride a horse along a trail
Dm                        C   Em
But then they took him to the jailhouse
              Am       F               C      G 
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse

[Instrumental]

| Am | F | Am | F |

[Verse 9]

Am                           F
All of Rubin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s cards were marked in advance
Am                           F
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance
Am                           F
The judge made Rubin√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s witnesses drunkards from the slums
Am                           F
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
C                           F
And to the black folks he was just a crazy er
G C                        F
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger
Dm                           C
And though they could not produce the gun
Dm                        C   Em
The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
              Am       F               C      G 
And the all-white jury agreed

[Instrumental]

| Am | F | Am | F |

[Verse 10]

Am                           F
Rubin Carter was falsely tried
Am                           F
The crime was murder one, guess who testified?
Am                           F
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
Am                           F
And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride
C                           F
How can the life of such a man
G C                        F
Be in the palm of some fool√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s hand?
Dm                           C
To see him obviously framed
Dm                        C   Em
Couldn√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢t help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
              Am       F               C      G 
Where justice is a game

[Instrumental]

| Am | F | Am | F |

[Verse 11]

Am                           F
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Am                           F
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Am                           F
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
Am                           F
An innocent man in a living hell
C                           F
That√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s the story of the Hurricane
G C                        F
But it won√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢t be over till they clear his name
Dm                           C
And give him back the time he√¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s done
Dm                        C   Em
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
              Am       F               C      G 
The champion of the world

Candle In The Wind

P24 A

E                                A 
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
		         E				         A
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
			 E			   A			
They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain
			E					A
They sent you on a treadmill and they made you change your name

Chorus -

B				    B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
	E                A
Like a candle in the wind
	E		       		B
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
	    A                                      C#m
And I would have liked to've known you but I was just a kid
                         B               A		E
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did

Other verses-

Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you paid
And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude

Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean, from a young man in the twenty second row
Who sees you as something more than sexual, more than just our Marilyn Monroe

Hey kids, shake it loose together,

the spolight's hitting something

that's been known to change the weather.

We'll kill the fatted calf tonight

Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet 
    Am                     C 
but they're so spaced out, Bennie and the jets, 
G

Hey kids, plug into the faithless,

We shall survive, let us take ourselves along,

to find who's right and who's wrong.

[Em, C, G, D]

Em                
Now, now she loved me, shawty I loved her.
Used to jump up in the Maybach and roll out.
 C
Used to care, she used to share...
The love that she used to give me can't be found.
G
I lost my way, she said she'd stay.
And lately I've been sleeping with a ghost!
D
My stock is down and out, I used to be worth my weight in gold.
Em
That was before the great depression kicked in and rocked us.
C
And that was before the hurricane, came in and stopped us.
D
I told you to leave, but you lied to me...
When you said that, 
D
baby no worries I promise to get us back.

Chorus
        Em
I know sorries, just wouldn't do it.
               C
Her heart is obliterated, I'm tryna' travel through,
                      G
But it's like moving mountains...
                   D
It's like moving mountains... hey.

Em                                        
But I keep climbing and hoping things would change...
                                  C
And the sky turns grey, and the water from the rain washes progress away.
                    G
It's like moving mountains...
                    D
It's like moving mountains...

C
Heart beats fast
           G
Colors and promises
          Em
How to be brave
          D             C
How can I love when I'm afraid

To fall
                 G
But watching you stand alone
          Em
All of my doubt
         D         C
Suddenly goes away somehow
         Em    D
One step closer
G
I have died everyday

waiting for you
Em
Darlin' don't be afraid
