And I'm in Transylvania

With the vampires all around.

My father died some years ago

But I still pray for his soul

    G     C      G
Now everyone's a refugee

On this planet purgatory

G       C     G
We only find reality

G		          A
In the land of the chosen few

Em		  A
I still get lost in wild imagination

Em		       A
I need to wake up to reality

Em		   A
I've had enough of identifaction

Em		       A
What can be done for a fool like me

       Em	    A
In the land, in the land,

In the land of the chosen few

In the land, in the land,

	Em		  A
In the land of the chosen few

Where people understand

Real love and harmony

D               Bm	       G
And I knew that I had found my way

D			 Bm
We were singing songs of innocence

And experience of love and harmony

D               Bm            G
And I knew that I was here to stay

D                  E
In the middle of a cool, cool night

G               A
I woke up and I saw the light

Em                   A
In the land,  in the land....
……and repeat Em to A through to end.
