Rush - The Camera Eye: chords

C
Grim-faced and forbidding, their faces closed tight,
   F
An angular mass of New Yorkers,
 C
Pacing in rhythm, race the oncoming night.
       F
They chase through the streets of Manhattan.
 C
Head-first humanity pause at a light
       F
Then flow through the streets of the city.

C#
They seem oblivious to a
 C
Soft spring rain, like an English rain.
C#
So light, yet endless, from a
 C        C# C
leaden sky.
C#
The buildings are lost in their limitless rise.
C
My feet catch the pulse and the purposeful stride.

Chorus:
C#
I feel the sense of possibilities.
C
I feel the wrench of hard realities.

Wide angle watcher on life's ancient tales
Steeped in the history of London
Green and grey washes in a wispy white veil
Mist in the streets of Westminster
Wistful and weathered, the pride still prevails
Alive in the streets of the city

Are they oblivious to this quality?
A quality
Of light unique to
Every city's streets
("'Ello!"
"Morning, guv.")
Pavements may teem with intense energy
But the city is calm in this violent sea

Chorus:
I feel the sense of possibilities
I feel the wrench of hard realities
The focus is sharp in the city
