[Verse 1]
        Em                G
        At my house I've got no shackles

        Am                 C
        You can come and look if you want to

        Em                   G
        In the halls you'll see the mantles

        Am                      C
        Where the light shines dim all around you

        Am                   D
        And the streets are paved with gold and if

        Am                D                  Em
        Someone asks you,   you can call my name
[Intro riff] x2 [Verse 2]
        Em                G
        You are just a thought that someone

        Am                 C
        Somewhere somehow feels you should be here

        Em                G
        And it's so for real to touch

        Am                 C
        To smell, to feel, to know where you are here

        Am                   D
        And the streets are paved with gold and if

        Am                D                  Em
        Someone asks you, you can call my name
You can call my name
                              Em    C   Am   D
        I hear you calling my name  yeah    all right now

[Intro riff] [Verse 3]
        Em                G
        By the time that I'm through singing

        Am                           C
        The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing

        Em                G
        More confusions, blood transfusions

        Am                         C
        The news today will be the movies for tomorrow

        Am              D
        And the water's turned to blood, and if

        Am                 D
        You don't think so

                        Em
        Go turn on your tub
And it it's mixed with mud You'll see it turn to gray And you can call my name
                           Em
        I hear you call my name
[Coda] [drum break] [multiple overdubbed guitar solos over Em; original release cuts off abruptly, reissues fade out] -- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
