Lead guitar solos in G minor pentatonic.
GD
When the time does come near again
CEmD
When the day does seem clear again
GD
Make it in the night time
CEmD
The dream ends in the light time
CDGD
All of you come away
CEmG
Just a bow shot away
GD
Let me tell you 'bout a story now
CEmD
A tale of glory and power
FCG
And I don't even know your name
FCG
But I thought I'd tell you all about it just the same
FCGDEm
We are all creatures of fame, lightness and liberty

GD
In the days of the olden times
CEmD
Of ancient ladies and maritime splendor
GD
Priests of Karnak and Thebes
CEmD
Could walk through the oceans and the seas
CDGD
And when the pyramid she would sigh
CEmG
The waters streamed from the sky
GD
The ocean you know she is your friend
CEmD
Your brother, your sister just as sure as sin
FCG
Put your hands in the water
FCG
Rest your feet on the sea
FCG
You don't have to let your body die, oh no no no
FCGDEm
You can come back again if you try, if you try, if you try
GD
This song was made then by you and me
CEmD
A billion years before these oceans rolled
GD
Oh I can see you burning brightly
CEmD
You shine like silver like sun gold
CDGD
And a hundred years from today
CEmG
All you people will be gone away
GD
Down into the heart of the sea
CEmD
Back to the time of wonder why you and me
FCG
And I don't even know your name
FCG
But I thought I'd tell you all about it just the same
FCG
If you laugh real hard you win the game - hands down
FCG
Before old Alexander 'twas just the same as now
FCGDEm
Can you smell the blood of fame, lightness and liberty?
