E (trumpet solo)
G F (E) When a room becomes an altar
And what beast that must exist
Dm6 It flies with music from our lips F And steals a kiss and blows it Dm6 E Out into the mist
Where castles stand on cliffs
And cobbled streets they wind and drift
Dm6 And moods are made and set but shift F This place where skies are low Dm6 E And birds are big
We went to sleep in day
And woke again the same day
Dm6 We have learned to cheat the time F And find the hours Dm6 E That the clocks cannot define
As I looked up from that stage
Dm6
I felt the thing that had been made And how it raged
F And how it raged Dm How to explain?
Something makes me howl
G7 And shiver to the core Am Ah outside if it was raining F G Then inside there'd be a storm Am We've got a pair of hands for climbing F G And a pair of knees to spring Am And a pair of balls for strength F G And a pair of lungs to sing Am And these simple chords F (F) G That say: music is the language of us all
Am E Am (x4) E...
G F E To write these songs is to be written
Ah the chorus always knows
Dm6 What is in store F And what is more the thing that sings us Dm6 E Is the thing that makes us roar
I felt that beast 'kisso my neck
We clapped our hands
F And heard them spread Dm6 There was a trumpet and a call F E A pack of Spaniards screamed for more
Music is the language of us all
Music is the language of us all
Music is the language of us all
Music is the language of us all
Am E Am (x12) E...
Dm I find it hard to speak emotional G7 Cos these things are the things that C Can't be said
And when it's struck it strikes
F G The memory from our heads Am Once I wrote to play's F G To be immortal for a night Am And despite the unknown hours F Something happens G C When the light turns out the lights Am Then we fade and yawn F G To music that's the language of us all
