		We're part of the fire that is burning
		         G            D             E
		From the ashes we can build another day

Verse 3:	But I'm frightened for our children
		And the life that we are living is in vain
		And the sunshine we've been waiting for
		Will turn to rain

Guitar Solo (over intro. chords) -> Vs. 3 -> Vs. 4

Verse 4:	And when the final line is over
		And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall
		I can hide inside your sweet sweet love 
		Forever more

The Moody Blues - The Story In Your Eyes
I've been thinking about our fortune And I've decided that we're really not to blame For the love that's deep inside us now Is still the same And the sound we make together Is the music to the story in your eyes It's been shining down upon me now I realize Listen to the tide slowly turning Wash all our heartaches away We're part of the fire that is burning And from the ashes we can build another day But I'm frightened for your children That the life that we are living is in vain And the sunshine we've been waiting for Will turn to rain Listen to the tide slowly turning Wash all our heartaches away We're part of the fire that is burning And from the ashes we can build another day But I'm frightened for the children That the life that we are living is in vain And the sunshine we've been waiting for Will turn to rain When the final line is over It's certain that the curtain's gonna fall I can hide inside your sweet sweet love For ever more

"Procession"/"The Story In Your Eyes" - The Moody Blues
This is 1 of 3 "Track 1 + Track 2" combos that I have uploaded. The album "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" is 1 of several albums by the Moody Blues in which the first 2 tracks link together (no pause between songs). It is intended to be heard as if the 2 tracks are only one long song. It doesn't make sense to listen to the first track without hearing the second afterward, so this video is my way of sharing with you the way this music was intended to be heard. The first 7 albums by the Moody Blues all have songs that connect (with the exception of the last song on side 1 and the first song on side 2). Song Details: "Procession" = It's a journey through time with music, beginning with creation ("DESOLATION! CREATION!"), transitioning to caveman chants (all band members participating in grunts), then some more familiar instruments. "The Story In Your Eyes" = written by lead singer / guitarist Justin Hayward. NOTE: I've found that listening to the "The Procession" with headphones is far more interesting... plus it's easier to pick up sounds during more quiet parts of the song. Although you might jump when it gets loud all of the sudden! The images in this video is the album artwork (outside and inside). The album is a gatefold design (not limited to the 12X12 LP jacket surface) so that when the album is opened the whole picture is revealed.
