Verse:
Cm Beyond the Cm7horizon of theAb place we lived when we were young
Cm In a world ofCm7 magnets and miracleAbs
Cm Our thoughts strayed Cm7constantly and wiAbthout boundary
Cm The ringing of theCm7 division bell had bAbegun
Ab Along the lonBbg road and on G7down the causeway
Ab Do they stilBbl meet there bG7y the cut.
Cm There was a raggedCm7 band who followed iAbn our footsteps
Cm Running before timCm7es took our dreams aAbway
Cm Leaving the myriadCm7 small creatures tryAbing to tie us to the ground
Cm To a life consumedCm7 by slow decay Ab
Chorus 1:
Ab The grass was grCmeener Gm Ab Bb
The light was briCmghterEb Fm Ab
When friends surrCmoundeGmd Ab Bb
The nights of wonCmder Eb Fm
Verse:
Cm Looking beyond theCm7 embers of bridges gAblowing behind us
Cm To a glimpse of hoCm7w green it was on thAbe other side
Cm Steps taken forwarCm7ds but sleepwalking Abback again
Cm Dragged by the forCm7ce of some sleeping Abtide
Ab At a higher Bbaltitude with G7flag unfurled
Ab We reached tBbhe dizzy heights of thatG7 dreamed of world
Bridge backed with snare drum:
