This is the easiest guitar song on "Western Skies". Notice the Cdim on the chorus and the variations
at the end of the last chorus.

INTRO:
(C -- C7 -- F)
Verse 1:
C ---------------------------
Satellite town shook up youth
F -------------------------------------
I used to dream of an unshakeable truth
C --------------------------------
Something I could fly my flag upon
--------- G -------------
and never need to give in
C -----------------------------------
But now I’m all through taking swipes
F ----------------------------------
I got promoted and I lost my stripes
C ------------------------ G ------------
I’m ditchin’ all I’ve been bitchin’ about
----------- C ----------
and letting love come in
Chorus:
C ----------------- C7 ----------
I used to walk down lonely street
F --------------------------------
Past the bars and the grand hotels
C -----------------------------------
Checking out all the beautiful people
-------- G ---------
who were checking in
C ----------------- C7 -----------
Now I walk like the street is mine
F -----------------------------------
Hand in hand with our dreams entwined
C ---------------- G ------------ C -------
Baby, you brought about my day of reckoning
Verse 2:
C ------------------------------------
I see the sun paint the whole town red
F ------------------------------------
And softly show me back to you instead
C -----------------------------------------
I’m confessin’ all my sins and I’m reachin’
------ G --------
with a higher aim
C -------------------------------
Strolling down by the marketplace
F ---------------- Cdim -----------
Hangin’ music on a half-seen face
C --------------------- G ------------------
But rollin’ round in my head is the sound of
C ------------------------
"I Heard Her Call My Name"
Chorus:
C ----------------- C7 ----------
I used to walk down lonely street
F --------------------------------
Past the bars and the grand hotels
C -----------------------------------
Checking out all the beautiful people
-------- G ---------
who were checking in
C ----------------- C7 -----------
Now I walk like the street is mine
F ------------------- Cdim ----------
Hand in hand with our dreams entwined
C ---------------- G ------------ C -------
Baby, you brought about my day of reckoning
Bridge:
F -----------------------------------
What’s the deal with the fear I feel,
--------- C ----------------
is it the real me squealin’?
F ----------------------------------- C ---------------
On the one on the run from the sum of my heart and soul
Dm ---------------------------------
Who’d take a trip round the universe
Am --------------------------------
In my head while my world got worse
F ------------------------------------------------ Dm ---------- G
And disengage, slip my stays, float away until I’d lost control
Final Chorus:
C ----------------- C7 ----------
I used to walk down lonely street
F --------------------------------
Past the bars and the grand hotels
C -----------------------------------
Checking out all the beautiful people
-------- G ---------
who were checking in
C ----------------- C7 -----------
Now I walk like the street is mine
F ------------------- Cdim ----------
Hand in hand with our dreams entwined
C ---------------- G ------------ Am------- D7
Baby, you brought about my day of reckoning
C ---------------- G -------------- C ----- (F) - C
Baby, you brought about my day of reckoning
