Em7(1) ||: Em7(1) Am(2) :|| repeat twice
Cmaj7 B11 Em7(1) Am(2) Em7(1) D Em7 ... G
All along the ancient wastes the thin reflections spin
(G) C D G
That gather all the times and tides at once we love within
C D G
That build the edges round the shrouds that cloud the setting sun
D G D G C D G
And carry us to other days and other days to one
D C G C D G
And full the single stillness of the mirror that is made
C D G
By each and every one of all the colours in a shade
C D G
Inside each eye is sitting like the sword inside the blade
D G D G C D
And longs for once upon a chance to open loves cascade
D C G C D G
For here we stand hand to hand
D
Fighting for the promised land
G D C G/B Am Em D
G G/F# Em7... Em7(1)
And you try to tell me with consternation
Am Em7
That you have found me a brand new lock
Cmaj7 B11 Em7(1)
Then you try to warn me that there's only one combination
Am Em7(1) D
One new sling the same old rock
(D) D11 Em7 ....... E7
There was a famous stragler stood on the edge of time
Emaj A D A
Who held the staff but did not feel the pain
G D A E A
He multiplied the mystery with utterance sublime
D A
And crossed his heart for those who died insane
G D A E A
His friend a restless mouthpiece seven thousand years of age
D A
Trends to flash a face to shape his ways
G D A E A
Everlasting light is burning bright inside his cage
D A
He's only got to breathe to fan the blaze
G D A E A
Such a groove to have him here on board her ladyship
D A
The man who makes his living out of bed
G D A E A (diminuendo...)
Such a gas to see him flying through his ceaseless lip
(no chord)
One day someday soon he'll lose his head
G D A E A
And withering in the galleries with eyes fixed on the door
D A
Are who and you and me and thanks a lot
G D A E A
And those who see but cannot stand to walk on any floor
D A
For fear that good is something bad is not
G D A E A
But loud and clear is the call
D
In black and white across your wall
A
And Damn it all man
E7
Can't you see?
A
D A E7 A A/G A/F# Fmaj7.... Em7(1)
And you try to tell me with consternation
Am(2) Em7(1)
That you have found me a brand new lock
Cmaj7 B11 Em7(1)
Then you try to warn me that there's only one combination
Am(2) Em7(1) D
One new sling the same old rock
(D) D11 Em7
