EYES OF THE WORLD - Rainbow
From "Down To Earth" 1979 LP
Written by Richie Blackmore and Roger Glover
Cool song but a lot harder than I thought. Almost pseudo-classical.
is keyboard solo approximately similar to Mars from the Planets Suite.
00:00 to 00:23 is ringing
Then
(play this twice)
I see the innocent victim fighting to get to his door
No chain of events can shackle him down he's not man anymore
Evil moves evil ways with his back to the wall
Evil mind looking down without seeing at all
You ain't got a lot to say
Judging by the things you do
If only you could feel the tears and pain in the eyes of the world
Dust to dust by the million broken dreams in the ground
Aching hearts in the back streets of home where the spirit is gone
Evil takes evil kills with no shame or concern
Killing me killing you watch the end of the burn
Maybe you don't understand
We don't need you anymore
If only you could see the tears and pain in the eyes of the world
GUITAR SOLO (04:00-04:30)
Play and
GUITAR SOLO (04:31-04:54)
Play and
Then A short burst
KEYBOARD SOLO (05:01-05:14)

x 4
x2

x 12
And in the name of religion for we gave him our soul
Hold on tight every second my whore for he's taking his toll
Evil moves evil ways with his back to the wall
Evil mind looking down without seeing at all.....(eyes of the world)
Don't wanna don't wanna cry no more.......(eyes of the world)
In the eyes......(eyes of the world)
You ain't got a lot to say.......(eyes of the world)
But he's got to feel his way......(eyes of the world)
Oh oh oooooh........(eyes of the world)
We don't need you anymore....(eyes of the world)
If only you could feel the tears and pain in the eyes of the world
Nice 1950s style detective series type ending! :
