THIS IS WHAT THE OFFICIAL URIAH HEEP WEB SITE SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
Sympathy - Yet another excellent melancholy piece. Mick and Ken duet on guitar on the fills while Mick plays with John on the verses. The rhythm guitar in this number is very David Gilmour-ish, ala Echoes but works to great effect. Once again, Trevor and Lee create a very tight groove. John, while not a silver-throated screamer, does a great job belting this out. Grade: A+
Available on the album:

Intro
Background Riff
Dm Gm
Sympathy just doesn't mean
Dm Gm
That much to me
Dm
Compassion's not
A Dm
The fashion in my mind
And if you're looking for
Gm
A shoulder to cry on
Dm Gm
Don't turn your head my way
Dm
'Cause I'd rather have
A Dm
My music any day
Intro
Riff 1
You and I are
Masters of our destiny
We look for consolation all the time
Until we find out things are not
What they were meant to be, oh no
And if it doesn't suit our mood
We'll call it crime
Riff 2
Gm Dm
Dedication's not an obligation
A
Or a figment of
Dm
Someone's imagination
Gm
It's the only way they say
Dm
To live from day to day
A
To make each passing way
Dm
A small sensation
Intro
Riff 1
Solo
Riff 3
Dreams are the possession of
The simple man
Reality the fantasy of youth
But living is a problem that
Is common to us all
With love the only
Common road to truth
Riff 2
Dedication's not an obligation
Or a figment of
Someone's imagination
It's the only way they say
To live from day to day
To make each passing way
A small sensation x2
Solo until fade.
