Sting - Jeremiah Blues (Part 1): chords

E7               Bm
It was midnight, midnight at noon
A                   G7
Everyone talked in rhyme
E7               Bm
Everyone saw the big clock ticking
A            F#7
Nobody knew, nobody knew the time
E7                  Bm
Elegant debutantes smiled
A                   G9
Everyone fought for dimes
E7                       Bm
Newspapers screamed for blood
A                  F#7
It was the best of times

Chorus:
Cm7
Every place around the world it seemed the same
Cm7
Can't hear the rhythm for the drums
Cm7
Everybody wants to look the other way
Cm7
When something wicked this way comes

G7                A7
Sometimes they tie a thief to the tree
E7
Sometimes I stare
E7
Sometimes it's me

Everyone told the truth
All that we heard were lies
A pope claimed that he'd been wrong in the past
This was a big surprise
Everyone fell in love
A cardinal's wife was jailed
The government saved a dying planet
When popular icons failed

Chorus

Sometimes they tie a thief to the tree
Sometimes I stare
Sometimes it's me
Sometimes I stare
Sometimes it's me
