[intro]
|F#m7 E/F# |F#m7 E/F# |F#m7 E/F# |F#m7 C#m7|

[verse #1]
F#m7                      A9
          I recall when I was small
          Dmaj7                  E7 Dmaj7 F#m7
How I spent my days a lone
                                 A9
The busy world was not for me
       Dmaj7                       E6 Eb7 Dmaj7
So I went and found my own
                             C#m11
I would climb the garden wall
            F#/B    E/A     C#/F#
With a candle in my hand
      B/E                F#/A#               Dmaj7 C#m9
I'd hide inside a hall of rock and sand

[verse #2]
F#m7                             A9
          On the stone an ancient hand
       Dmaj7             E7    Dmaj7 F#m7
In a faded yellow-green
                      A9
Made alive a worldly wonder
          Dmaj7               E6   Eb7 Dmaj7
Often told but never seen
                       C#m11
Now and ever bound to labor
            F#/B       E/A     C#/F#
On the sea and in the sky
B/E                   F#/A#
Every man and beast appeared
    Bmaj7                 Amaj7 A7/C#
A friend as real as I

[chorus]
      Dmaj9                           Amaj7
Be fore the fall when they wrote it on the wall
                   Dmaj9                   F#m7
When there wasn’t even Holly wood
E6      Dmaj9                           C#m7
They heard the call and they wrote it on the wall
       Bm7
For you and me

      Gmaj7 Fmaj7 Emaj7 Dmaj7 C#m7 Cmaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 G C#m7|F#m7 E/F#|F#m7 C#m7|

we under stood

[verse #3]
F#m7                        A9
         Can it be this sad design
           Dmaj7          E7   Dmaj7 F#m7
Could be the very same
                             A9
A wooly man with out a face
           Dmaj7                E6    Eb7 Dmaj7
And a beast without a name
                           C#m11
Nothin' here but history
              F#/B         E/A         C#/F#
Can you see what has been done
B/E                 F#/A#
Memory rush over me
          Bmaj7             Amaj7   A7/C#
Now I step into the sun

[Ulangi chorus]

      Gmaj7 Fmaj7 Emaj7 Dmaj7 C#m7 Cmaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 G C#m7 F#m7
we under stood
