The World Is Showing Its Hand

(Appears on Not so much to be loved as to love and Take me To the Plaza)




Not so much to be loved as to love version - Chords

Well

G   Am   Bm    Am

G                             Am
well when I first smelled the bus fumes
G                  Am
from the diesel motor
        Bm
well my two year old mind could only applaud

such odor
     C                     D
the world is showing me its tricks
C                        G
the world was showing its hand

G  Am    Bm   Am

G                      Am
then an alley somewhere
G                      Am
smelling of grease and piss
Bm
I was delighted that the world would want to

smell like this
C                          D
the world is showing me its tricks
C                        G      C     G
the world was showing its hand

        C          
well the pond and the odor
C
the swamp and the sweat
Bm                        D
each smell is telling me a secret
G                     
so give me an alley
Am
give me a valley
          Bm              
give me a neopolitan night
Bm
let me smell more of the world
        C        D      
and gain more insight
C                          D
the world is showing me its tricks
C                       G         Am  Bm  Am
the world is showing its hand

Yeah

G              
so give me a mowed lawn
Am
give me an ozone
         Bm
give me summer rain
        Bm
let me smell more of the world


            C          D
that I might learn something
C                     D
the world was showing me its tricks
C                        Em
the world is showing its hand
C                    D                                 
The world is showing me its tricks
C                        D
The world is showing its hand

Take Me to the Plaza version - Lyrics

well when I first smelled the exhaust fumes
from the diesel motor
well my two year old mind could only applaud
such odor
the world was showing me its tricks
the world was showing its hand

then an alley somewhere
smelling of grease and piss
I was delighted that the world would sometimes want to
smell like this
the world is showing me its tricks
the world was showing its hand

I smelled the odor
I smelled the sweat
each smell told me a secret
so give me an alley
give me the odor
give me summer rains
each time I smell the world
I learn something
the world is showing me its tricks
the world is showing its hand

yeah

so give me a mowed lawn
give me an ozone
give me summer rain
the world is showin me its hand
the world was showing me its tricks
the world is showing its hand

I smelled the odor
I smelled the sweat
each smell tells me a secret
so give me an alley
give me the ozone
give me a neopolitan night
I smell the world
and yet each time more insight
the world was showing me its tricks
the world is showing its hand
