Deep Purple - White Room

(originally by Cream)

[Intro]

Gm F Dm C
Gm F Dm C Am

[Verse]

Dm C G/B Bb C Dm F G Bb C
In the white room with black curtains near the station
Dm C G/B Bb C Dm F G Bb C
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Dm C G/B Bb C Dm F G Bb C
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dm C G/B Bb C Dm F G Bb C
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment

[Chorus]

C G Bb A
I’ll wait in this place where the sun never shines
C G Bb C D
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus 2]

C G Bb A
I’ll wait in the queue when the trains come back
C G Bb C D
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves

[Interlude]

Gm F Dm C
Gm F Dm C Am

[Verse 3]

Dm C G/B Bb C Dm F G Bb C
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Dm C G/B Bb C Dm F G Bb C
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Dm C G/B Bb C Dm F G Bb C
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
Dm C G/B Bb C Dm F G Bb C
She’s just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings

[Chorus 3]

C G Bb A
I’ll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd
C G Bb C D
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

[Interlude]

Gm F Dm C Am
