Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Hallowed Be Thy Name (Guitar)

                 Em
There may be an 'Om' in 'moment'

                     Em
But there's very few folk in 'focus'

        C              Am7           Em
Not the first, not the last, not the least

               Em
You needn't be well to be wealthy

                     Em
But you've got to be whole to be holy

          C               Am7              Em
Fetch the rope, fetch the clock, fetch the priest

        Am
Oh this planet of ours is a mess

                   Em
I bet heaven's the same

         Am
Look the madman said 'Son

                                B7
As a friend tell me what's in a name.'

Am7             Em
Hallowed be thy name

               Em
I give you the state of statesmen

                    Em
And the key to what motivates them

       C            Am7           Em
On the left, on the right, on the nail

                    Em
Still I don't see a man in a mansion

                 Em
That an accurate pen wouldn't puncture

      C           Am7         Em
Go to town, go to hell, go to jail

            Am
And there's bars and saloons

                                     Em
Where the jukebox plays blues in the night

         Am
Till the madman says 'Son

                                  B7
Time to go we could both use some light'

A7              Em
And thy will be done

              Em
We live in an age of cages

               Em
The tale of an ape escaping

       C               Am7          Em
In the search for some truth he can use

           Em
But many a drunk got drunker

             Em
And mostly a thinker, a thunker

        C              Am7           Em
Set the place, set the time, set the fuse

    Am
The optimist laughed and the

                       Em
pessimist cried in his wine

        Am
And the madman said 'Son

                                   B7
Take a word they'll all wake given time'

Am7             Em
Let thy kingdom come

               Em
The madman and I got drunker

                      Em
'Til both thought the other thank you

       C               Am7        Em
And we laughed all the way to the stars

    Am
The optimist asked for a taste

                   Em
of the pessimist's wine

        Am
And the madman said 'son

                                     B7
How do you feel?' I said 'Me? I feel fine

Am7              Em
Lead me into temptation

         Em
Into temptation

                Em
I said into temptation

             Em               Em
I need my allocation, of recreation

             Em              Em
I want a revelation, in degradation

       Em                  Em                   Em
No hesitation, give me variation, give me inspiration
