Am Em F C F Beyond the day make .............. Dm7 G G6 G7 Peaceful sounds in me ................... C G7 C Took a drag from my last cigarrette ........ F G7 C Took a drink from a glass of old red wine....... F G7 I closed my eyes and I could ...... Am Em F C Make it real and F Dm7 G7 Feel it one more time ........ CHORUS: Am Can You hear it Babe?.........(Riff1) G7 Can you hear it Babe?.........(Riff2) F C From another Time From another place G G7 Can you remember it Babe?
