[Wheels of Fire - In the Studio:]

In the white room with black curtains near the station.
Black-roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
Dawn-light smiles on you leaving, my contentment.

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.

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

I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back;
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten.
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.

I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves.

[Live Cream Vol. 2:]

Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah

In the white room with black curtains near the station.
Black-roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.

And I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.

You said no strings could secure you at the station.
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.
As I walked in such a bad time at the station.
As I walked out, felt my own needs just beginning.

And I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back;
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.

Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.
Consolation for the old wound now forgovern.
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.

And I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves.

Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah

White Room
- written by Jack Bruce and Pete Brown
- as recorded by Cream

In the white room with black curtains in the stations
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses, rundown moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawn light smiles on your leaving my contentment

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

You said no strings could secure you at the station


Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows

I walked into such a sad time at the station

As I walked out felt my whole need just beginning

I'll wait in the queue when the train's come back
Wait here for you where the shadows run from themselves

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd

Consolation from the old wound now forgotten


Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes

She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings

I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd


Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

WHITE ROOM by Jack Bruce and Pete Brown

[Gm] [F] [Dm] [C]
[Gm] [F] [Dm] [C] [Am7]

Repeat main riff twice for each line of the verses:

[D] [D] [C] [C] [G/B] [G/B] [Bb] [C]

In the white room with black curtains near the station.
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment.

I'll [C] wait in this [G] place where the [Bb] sun never [A] shines;
[C] Wait in this [G] place where the [Bb] shadows [C] run from [D]
themselves.

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

I'll [C] wait in the [G] queue when the [Bb] trains come [A] back;
[C] Lie with [G] you where the [Bb] shadows [C] run from [D] themselves.

[Gm] [F] [Dm] [C]
[Gm] [F] [Dm] [C] [Am7]

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten.

Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.

I'll [C] sleep in this [G] place with the [Bb] lonely [A] crowd;
[C] Lie in the [G] dark where the [Bb] shadows [C] run from [D] themselves.

[Gm] [F] [Dm] [C]
[Gm] [F] [Dm] [C] [Am7]

Solo on Verse
