Am C D Am7
[Verse 1]
The AmForest awakes
The Cdesert at dawn
A Dmountain at night
And the Am7rhythm moves on
The Ampeople awake
They're Cmarching along
The Dstreets are alive
With a Am7terrible song
[Chorus]
AmForward and Gbackwards in Cevery diDrection
The Catoms' perDpetual Gmotion
The Amshifting of Glight on the Cbanks of the Driver
I'm Cfree, but I'm Dkeeping my Gclothes on
[Instrumental]
Am C D Am7
[Verse 2]
I'm Ammarching along
The Cstreet where you live
I'm Dcalling your name
The Am7song is a gift
The Amsong is a road
The Croad is a face
A Dface is a time
And a Am7time is place
[Chorus]
A Amplace of reGlief in a Ctime of conDfusion
A Cheart is a Dsimple eGquation
With Ambeautiful Gwords and with Cbeautiful Dpeople
A Csong is a Dface, is a Gmountain
[Solo]

[Bridge]
AmA fruit that falls before it's grown
GI heard a sound and a bird has flown
AmIt breaks to Gpieces aCbove the Dforest
AmA million Gparticles Cborn toDday
Am Am
BmOut beyond the blue horizon
BmAir cannot escape
F#mUnderneath the weeping willow
F#mI can see your face
D#Free-form calling all over me
D#Creatures great and small
FDoctors pulling them out of you
FHideous, virtuous, both of us
F#mCome in my kitchen
F#mWhen it rains outside
G#mSweet inspiration
G#mSneaks up from behind
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
The Amforest is true
I Cknow for a fact
That the Dbigger the front
Then the Am7bigger the back
My Amheart beating still
Through the Cperilous night
The Dbombs burst in the air
But my Am7hair is alright
[Chorus]
The Amshifting of Glight on the Ctrees and the Dhouses
I Cdrowned in an Docean of Gperfume
The Amstrangeness of Gwords, how the Cmeaning keeps Dchanging
But Csomehow the Dbeauty will Gfind you
