I recall when A9I was small
How I Dmaj7spent my days a E7loneDmaj7 F#m7
The busy world was A9not for me
So I Dmaj7went and found my E6own Eb7 Dmaj7
I would climb the F#7sus4/C#garden wall
With a F#/Bcandle E/Ain my C#/F#hand
I'd hideEmaj7 inside a hallBbm7 of rock and sandDmaj7 C#m7 F#m7
On the stone an A9ancient hand
In a Dmaj7faded yellow-E7green Dmaj7 F#m7
Made alive a A9worldly wonder
Often Dmaj7told but never seE6en Eb7 Dmaj7
Now and ever F#7sus4/C#bound to labor
On the F#/Bsea and E/Ain the C#/F#sky
Emaj7Every man and Bbm7beast appeared
A Bmaj7friend as real as Emaj7I A7
BDmaj9e fore the fall when theAmaj7y wrote it on the wall
When there Dmaj9wasn’t even HoF#m7llywood
F#m/EThey Dmaj9heard the call and they C#m7wrote it on the wall
For Dmaj7you and me

Can it be this A9sad design
Could Dmaj7be the very E7same Dmaj7 F#m7
A wooly man witA9hout a face
And a Dmaj7beast without a E6nameEb7 Dmaj7
Nothin' here but F#7sus4/C#history
Can you F#/Bsee what E/Ahas been C#/F#done
Emaj7Memory rush Bbm7over me
Now I Bmaj7step into the Emaj7sun A7
