WHITE ROOM by Jack Bruce and Pete Brown

Gm

Gm

Repeat main riff twice for each line of the verses:

D

In the white room with black curtains near the station. Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings. Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes. Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment.

I'll [C] wait in this [G] place where the [Bb] sun never [A] shines;

C

You said no strings could secure you at the station. Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows. I walked into such a sad time at the station. As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning.

I'll [C] wait in the [G] queue when the [Bb] trains come [A] back;

C

Gm

Gm

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd. Consolation for the old wound now forgotten. Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes. She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.

I'll [C] sleep in this [G] place with the [Bb] lonely [A] crowd;

C

Gm

Gm
