Jefferson Airplane – Alexander The Medium (Guitar)

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
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 . .

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?
