	        Am                                Dm/A 
History recalls how great the fall can be 
              G7                                      C7+ 
While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea 
F                                          Dm/F 
       Born on the wings of time 
                        Em                                       Am 
It seemed the answers were so easy to find 
          Dm                            G7 
'Too late,' the prophets cry 
                       C7+                                      Bb6 
The island's sinking, let's take to the sky 
 
Am                                    Dm/A 
Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride 
G7                                              C7+ 
Everyone was laughing up until the day he died 
F                                                    Dm/F 
   And though the wound went deep 
                  Em                               Am 
Still he's calling us out of our sleep 
          Dm                        G7 
My friends, we're not alone 
                     C7+                              Bb     C 
He waits in silence to lead us all home 
 
Dm         Dm6                                                 Dm7 
        So tell me that you find it hard to grow 
               Dm6                  Dm    
Well I know, I know, I know 
Dm           Dm6                                                    Dm7 
And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow 
              Dm6                    Bb   C 
Well I know, I know, I know 
 
SEMPRE 
2X Eb/Bb  F/C  Eb             F/C      Eb/Bb  F/C 
Dm/A  Em/A  Dm/A 
Can     you hear what I'm      saying 
Can you see the parts that I'm playing 
'Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie, 
Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie' 
So you found your solution 
What will be your last contribution? 
'Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy? 
Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy, 
Yeah!'
