F D#                           A#
She'll be cleaning all the windows
F                  D#                 A#
Singin' songs about  Edith Piaf's soul
F                 D#                    A#
And I hear blue strains of "No Regredior"
F                         D#              A#
Across the street from cathedral Notre Dame
F              D#           A#
Meanwhile, back  in San Francisco
F             D#                    A#
I try hard to make this whole thing blend
F       D#            A#
And we sit upon this jagged
Cm                          F
Story block, with you, my friend
          D#         A#
And it's a  long way Buffalo
D#                               A#
It's a long way to Belfast city, too
D#                              A#
And I'm hopin' the Joyce won't blow the hoist
             D#
'Cause this time,
                                   A#
they bit off more than they could chew

Chorus:
       F                  D#
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
       F                  D#
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on, yeah
       A#    Cm7    A#

Saint Dominic's preview

All the orange boxes are scattered
Against the Safeway's supermarket in the rain
And everybody feels so determined
Not to feel anyone else's pain
(You know that) No one's making no commitments
To anybody but themselves
Talkin' behind closed doorways
Tryin' to get outside, outside of empty shells

And for every cross-cuttin' country corner
For every Hank Williams railroad train that cried
And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems
And every strain on every brain and every eye

Chorus

And the restaurant tables are completely covered
The record company has paid out for the wine
You got everything in the world you ever wanted
Right about now your face should wear a smile

That's the way it all should happen
When you're in, when you're in the state you're in;
You've got your pen and notebook ready
I think it's about time, time for us to begin
And meanwhile we're over in a 52nd Street apartment
Socializing with the white hope few
Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set
But they're flying too high to see my point of view

Chorus

D#       A#    Cm7   A#
(Saint Dominic's preview)
A#
Out in the street, freedom marchin'
D#       A#    Cm7   A#
(Saint Dominic's preview)
A#
Out in the street, look at them, man
D#       A#    Cm7   A#
(Saint Dominic's preview)
A#
Turn around
D#       A#    Cm7   A#
(Saint Dominic's preview)
A#
Come back, come back
D#       A#    Cm7   A#
(Saint Dominic's preview)
A#
Turn around and look at them, man
D#       A#    Cm7   A#
(Saint Dominic's preview)
A#
Said, hold on
D#      A#    Cm7   A#
Saint Dominic's preview
         D#       A#    Cm7   A#
Hey, hey,  Saint Dominic's preview
A#
To soul me in
D#     A#    Cm7   A#
Saint Dominic's preview
