D
A thumbnail sketch, a jeweler's stone
A mean idea to call my own Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young There's time to teach, point to point Point observation, children carry reservations
                                                    G
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold, leaves me cold.

F#                            A                        D
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly

D
Singer sing me a given, singer sing me a song
Standing on the shoulders of giants everybody's looking on (Old don't lay so still you're not yet young)
                                    G
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold

F#                            A                         B

D
I am king of all I see, my kingdom for a voice
Old man don't lay so still, you're not yet young There's time to teach, point to point Point observation, children carry reservations
                                     G
Standing on the shoulders of giants, leaves me cold

F#                            A                     D
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away.

D
Everybody hit the ground.  Everybody hit the ground.
