Terminal Eyes by Al Stewart
 
Intro
-----
F#
 
 
F#
Cut glass porcupine sailing on the Serpentine
 
Fingers on the skyline pulling down the black blinds
 
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
 
Rivulet of dark wine moving in a straight line
 
Smudging out the stop signs, running down the life lines
 
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
G#
Shadows on the ceiling, coffee cup congealing,
 
Tarot cards revealing, a solitary feeling
 
Terminal eyes, but I think it's alright
C#
Silver studded jet plane screaming through the migraine
 
Cutting through the cellophane, wrappers of your tired brain
 
Terminal eyes - put out the light
 
Chorus
B                       D         E    B
Terminal Eyes, only the lonely Arabian skies
B                          D              E               B C#
Terminal Eyes, calling you home from your restless disguise.
 
F# (guitar solo)
 
Verse 2
-------
F#
Hands of the windmill moving to a standstill
 
Rain on the windowsill, ashes on the phone bill
 
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
 
Rain drop fire-flies sparkle on the shop blinds
 
Echoes of the summertime flicker in the street-signs
 
Terminal eyes at the edge of the night
G#
Shadows on the ceiling, coffee cup congealing
 
Eyes that look unseeing, hands that move unfeeling
 
Terminal eyes, I think it's alright
C#
Silver studded sea plane breaking through the migraine
 
Cutting throught the cellophane, enveloping your tired brain
 
Terminal eyes: put out the light
 
Chorus
------
B                      D        E     B
Terminal eyes only the lonely Arabian skies
B                         D              E           B
Terminal eyes calling you home from your restless disguise
