D Bm A G Bm A
D Bm A
When the time does come near again
G Bm A
When the day does seem clear again
D Bm A
Make it in the night time
G Bm A
The dreams ends in the light time
G A D A
All of you come away
G Bm A
Just a bow shot away
D Bm A
Let me tell you 'bout a story now
G Bm A
A tale of glory and power
C G D
And I don't even know your name
C G D
But I thought I'd tell you all about it just the same
C G D D Bm
We are all creatures of fame, lightness and liberty
D Bm A G Bm A
D Bm A
In the days of the olden times
G Bm A (G A)
Of ancient ladies and maritime splendor
D Bm A
Priests of Karnak and Thebes
G Bm A
Could walk through the oceans and the seas
G A D A
And when the pyramid she would sigh
G Bm A
The waters streamed from the sky
D Bm A
The ocean you know she is your friend
G Bm A
Your brother and your sister just as sure as sin
C G D
Put your hands in the water
C G D
Rest your feet on the sea
C G D
You don't have to let your body die
C G D Bm D Bm
You can come back again if you try, if you try, if you try . .
Break
D Bm A G Bm A . . . .
D Bm A
This song was made then by you and me
G Bm A
A billion years before these oceans rolled
D Bm A
Oh, I can see you burning brightly
G Bm A
You shine like silver like sun gold
G A D A
And a hundred years from today
G Bm A
All you people will be gone away
D Bm A
Down into the heart of the sea
C G D Bm A
Back to the time of wonder why you and me
C G D
And I don't even know your name
C G D
But I thought I'd tell you all about it just the same
C G D
If you laugh real hard you win the game - hands down
C G D
Before old Alexander 'twas just the same as now
C G D D Bm
Can you smell the blood of fame, lightness and liberty?
C Bm . . . .
