[Intro]
 
G Em Bm C7 G
 
[Verse]
 
G       Em      C G
Is it a kind of dream;
Em       G          C G
floating out on the tide?
D             C        G         C
Following the river of death downstream,
   Am      D     Dsus4 D
or is it a dream?
          G    Em         C G
There's a fog along the horizon
  Em      G           C G
A strange glow in the sky
    D      C             G         C
And nobody seems to know where you go
                 B7
And what does is mean
Edim7 G  D7      G
Oh,   oh is it a dream?
 
[Chorus]
 
       Bm    C            D   Dsus4 D
Bright eyes, burning like fire
       Bm    C                     Am
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
B7          Em         D7        G
How can the light that burned so brightly
C                Am    D7     G
Suddenly burn so pale, bright eyes
 
[Interlude]
 
G  Em C
 
[Verse]
 
G       Em      C  G
Is it a kind of shadow;
Em       G         C  G
reaching in to the night?
D         C        G       C
Wandering over the hills unseen,
   Am      D
or is it a dream?
          G    Em          C   G
There's a high wind in the trees
  Em   G            C G
A cold sound in the air
    D      C          G        C
And nobody ever knows when you go
                 B7
And where do you start
Edim7 G  D7       G
Oh,   oh into the dark
 
[Chorus]
 
       Bm    C            D   Dsus4 D
Bright eyes, burning like fire
       Bm    C                     Am
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
B7          Em         D7        G
How can the light that burned so brightly
C                Am    D7     G
Suddenly burn so pale, bright eyes
 
[Chorus]
 
       Bm    C            D   Dsus4 D
Bright eyes, burning like fire
       Bm    C                     Am
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
B7          Em         D7        G
How can the light that burned so brightly
C                Am    D7     G      G
Suddenly burn so pale, bright eyes

The chords are perfect, but the placing of them isn't quite perfect, however you can work it out :)
