Song Where Your Eyes Don’t Go
Album: Lincoln
Intro:
E Am E Am/G
Verse 1:
C F G A
Where your eyes don’t go a filthy scarecrow waves his broomstick
Bb G Am F G
arms and does a parody of each unconscious thing you do
C F G A Bb
when you turn around to look it’s gone behind you on its face
G Am F G
it’s wearing your confused expression — where your eyes don’t go
Chorus:
Ab Bb Cm Ab / Bb
Where your eyes don’t go a part of you is hovering
Eb Fm Gm Ab / Bb
it’s a nightmare that you’ll never be discovering
Eb Eb+aug5 Eb+6 Eb+7
you’re free to come and go or talk like Kurtis Blow
Ab Ab+6 Ab+maj7 Ab
but there’s a pair of eyes in back of your head
Verse 2:
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that
wonders what the part that isn’t thinking isn’t thinking of
should you worry when the skull head is in front of you — or
is it worse because it’s always waiting — where your eyes don’t go
Chorus:
Where your eyes don’t go a part of you is hovering
it’s a nightmare that you’ll never be discovering
you’re free to come and go or talk like Kurtis Blow
but there’s a pair of eyes in back of your head
Bridge:
Eb Ab Bb C
Db Bb Cm Ab/Bb
Verse 3: ( Verse 1 again
Where your eyes don’t go a filthy scarecrow waves his broomstick
arms and does a parody of each unconscious thing you do
when you turn around to look it’s gone behind you on its face
it’s wearing your confused expression — where your eyes don’t go
