Compared to Bob Albrights version, I have corrected some lyrics,
my intro chords differ, and I have added some TAB. Otherwise they
are almost exactly the same (I have even used Bobs file as a template).
It's difficult to hear the picking in some places, but I think it's
something like this.

She drifted from some minor festival, ha.

Didn't look like any summer of love:

Just a thousand weekend warriors in a muddy field.
Dm
C
She was the hand to fit my glove.

See how she moves just like two angels, (in white innocence).

Yet one of them is on the run.
Eb* F
Gm
The other's tapping at my car window
Dm
C
mm, and I'm squinting through the sun
Bb
C
Dsus4
trying to see if she's some child of the nineties:
Bb
C Dsus4
Gm
or just another dangerous fantasy of mine, yeah.
Gm
White innocence, white innocence
White innocence, she was white innocence
Intro repeat: Am G F Eb Gm Am G F Eb Gm
Dm
Gm
A perfect hole was in her stocking:
F
Eb*
it made a perfect window to the heart.
Eb*
F
Gm
I could have moved among her waterfalls:
Dm
C
Her misty curtains drawn apart.
Dm
Gm
Did she see warm safety in my numbers
F
Eb*
to want to hitch a ride this way?
Eb*
F
Gm
Felt like I was taking her to market now
Dm
C
to be sold as the last lot of the day.
Bb
C

Funny thing, the distance of the lonely

White innocence, white innocence
F
Eb Bb
Gm
White innocence, white, white innocence
Dm
C
She pressed the button, lowered the window:
F
C Gm
let her hand trail in the slipstream of the night.
F
C
A frost from nowhere seemed to lick her fingers:
Bb
C Dm
I could have warmed them, but the moment wasn't right.
Em G Em D
D F Bb Ab Eb Bb Db Ab
Dm
C
Obvious, she was headed nowhere special, yeah:
F
C Gm
well it was even obvious to me.
F
C
I was doing some, some watching, some waiting:
Bb
C Dm
she'd been here before, most definitely.

Dm
Gm
There was.. bedtime...
Dm
Gm
There was the promise of early bedtime, hum.
F
Eb*
There was the promise of heaven on earth.
Eb* F
Gm
Think I was sending out low-voltage electricity:
Dm
C
Played it right down for what it was worth.
Dm
Gm
She turned and looked at me in white innocence
F
Eb*
and with the clearest eyes of forever grey
Eb*
F Gm
she rested one small hand for a second on my knee:
Dm
C
I stopped the car. She walked away, mum.
Bb
C
Dsus4
Funny thing, the wisdom of the lonely.
