Chords

Lead guitar solos in G minor pentatonic.
G                       D
When the time does come near again

C        Em            D
When the day does seem clear again

G              D
Make it in the night time

C         Em          D
The dream ends in the light time 

C      D        G D
All of you come away

C      Em        G
Just a bow shot away

G                       D
Let me tell you 'bout a story now

C         Em        D
A tale of glory and power

F                C         G
And I don't even know your name

F                          C            G
But I thought I'd tell you all about it just the same

F          C            G     D             Em
We are all creatures of fame, lightness and liberty

G                  D
In the days of the olden times 

C          Em         D
Of ancient ladies and maritime splendor

G                      D
Priests of Karnak and Thebes

C                      Em             D
Could walk through the oceans and the seas 

C                D             G D
And when the pyramid she would sigh

C          Em                G
The waters streamed from the sky

G                         D
The ocean you know she is your friend

C                  Em             D
Your brother, your sister just as sure as sin 

F        C            G
Put your hands in the water

F         C           G
Rest your feet on the sea

F                 C             G
You don't have to let your body die, oh no no no

F                  C           G           D           Em
You can come back again if you try, if you try, if you try 

G                          D
This song was made then by you and me

C                 Em                D
A billion years before these oceans rolled

G                        D
Oh I can see you burning brightly

C              Em          D
You shine like silver like sun gold

C             D            G D
And a hundred years from today

C       Em             G
All you people will be gone away

G                          D
Down into the heart of the sea

C           Em             D
Back to the time of wonder why you and me

F                 C         G
And I don't even know your name

      F                    C            G
But I thought I'd tell you all about it just the same

       F          C                G
If you laugh real hard you win the game - hands down

F             C            G
Before old Alexander 'twas just the same as now

F                 C        G     D             Em
Can you smell the blood of fame, lightness and liberty?
F Em
