Intro: |Em |Em |C |C | |Em |Em |C |C | |Em |Em |C |C | |Em |Em |C |C |
     Em        
It's coming from so far away

     C               C/D
It's hard to say for sure

        G              G/B          C
Whether what I hear is music or the wind

                D
Through an open door

           Em              Eb#5
There's a fire high in the empty sky

          G/D   C(add9)   G
Where the sound meets the shore

          G         
There's a long distance loneliness

C                    G             D
Rolling out over the desert floor
|Em |Em |C |C | |Em |Em |C |G |
        C                              Bm 
And the years that I spent lost in the mystery

     D#dim                              Em
Fall away leaving only the sound of the drum

       G/F
Like a part of me
It speaks to the heart of me
                 Em
Forget what life used to be
You are what you choose to be
                 Eb#5        D
It's whatever it is you see

                 G         Gmb5(6)
That life will become

                         D/F#
Whatever it is you might think you have

                    Em/G        B7/F#
You have nothing to lose

         C/G  
Through every dead and living thing

     Em
Time runs like a fuse

        G         C  D      C/E   Dsus4/F#  G
And the fuse is   burning

        G           C  D      C/E   D7sus4/F#  G
And the earth is    turning
|Em |Em |C |C | |Em |Em |C |C | |Em |Em |C |C | |Em |Em |C |C | |Em |Eb#5 |G/D |C(add9) | |G/B |D/A |F(add9)/G |F(add9)/G |
           C                   Bm
Though the years give way to uncertainty

        D#dim                                    Em
And the fear of living for nothing strangles the will

          G/F
There's a part of me
That speaks to the heart of me
                      Em
Though sometimes it's hard to see

           C
It's never far from me

           Eb#5        D
Alive in eternity

                 G       
That nothing can kill
Gmb5(6) Oh Lord
D/F#                             Em/G     B7/F#
Are there really people starving still?

C/G
Look out beyond the walls of Babylon

    Em
How long will their needs go unfilled

          G         C       D        C/E  D7sus4/F#  G
I want to say right now I'm going to be   a   -    round
(backgr. vocals: I'm going to be around)
          G        C   D      C/E  D7sus4/F#  G
When the walls and towers are crumbling
(backgr. vocals: When the towers are tumbling down)
           G       C  D          C/E  D7sus4/F#  G
And I will tune my spirit to the gentle         sound
(backgr. vocals: I want to hear the sound)
       G      C  D         C/E  D7sus4/F#  G
Of the waters lapping on a higher         ground
(backgr. vocals: Of the children laughing) |G C D |C/E D7sus4/F# G | (play 4 x) |Em |Em |C |C | (play 12 x) Transcribed by Gerard Koot (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) – aug 2007 Email: [email protected]
