[verse #1]
F#m7 A9 I recall when I was small Dmaj7 E7 Dmaj7 F#m7 How I spent my days a lone A9 The busy world was not for me Dmaj7 E6 Eb7 Dmaj7 So I went and found my own C#m11 I would climb the garden wall F#/B E/A C#/F# With a candle in my hand B/E F#/A# Dmaj7 C#m7 I'd hide inside a hall of rock and sand
[verse #2]
C#m7 F#m7 A9 On the stone an ancient hand Dmaj7 E7 Dmaj7 F#m7 In a faded yellow-green A9 Made alive a worldly wonder Dmaj7 E6 Eb7 Dmaj7 Often told but never seen C#m11 Now and ever bound to labor F#/B E/A C#/F# On the sea and in the sky B/E F#/A# Every man and beast appeared Bmaj7 Amaj7 A7/C# A friend as real as I
[chorus]
Dmaj9 Amaj7 Be fore the fall when they wrote it on the wall Dmaj9 F#m7 When there wasn’t even Holly wood E6 Dmaj9 C#m7 They heard the call and they wrote it on the wall Bm7 For you and me

[verse #3]
F#m7 A9 Can it be this sad design Dmaj7 E7 Dmaj7 F#m7 Could be the very same A9 A wooly man with out a face Dmaj7 E6 Eb7 Dmaj7 And a beast without a name C#m11 Nothin' here but history F#/B E/A C#/F# Can you see what has been done B/E F#/A# Memory rush over me Bmaj7 Amaj7 A7/C# Now I step into the sun
