It was an April morning when they told us we should go
EmD/EEm
As I turn to you, you smiled at me
D/E
How could we say no?
EmD/EEmD/E
With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had
EmD/EEmD/E
Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again
EmD/EEmD/E
Sending off a glancing kiss, to those who claim they know
EmD/EEmD/E
Below the streets that steam and hiss, the devil's in his hole
EmD/EEmD/E
Oh to sail away, To sandy lands and other days
EmD/EEmD/E
Oh to touch the dream, Hides inside and never seen.
EmD/EEmD/E
Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flown
EmD/EEmD/E
The shackles of commitment fell, In pieces on the ground
EmD/EEmD/E
Oh to ride the wind, To tread the air above the din
EmD/EEmD/E
Oh to laugh aloud, Dancing as we fought the crowd
EmD/EEmD/E
To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfolds
EmD/EEmD/E
With guidance from the curving path, That churns up into stone
EmD/EEmD/E
If one bell should ring, in celebration for a king
EmD/EEmD/E
So fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet.
EmD/EEmD/E
Days went by when you and I, bathed in eternal summers glow
EmD/EEmD/E
As far away and distant, Our mutual child did grow
EmD/EEmD/E
Oh the sweet refrain, Soothes the soul and calms the pain
EmD/EEmD/E
Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again
F#m/EEmD/EF#m/EEmD/EEmD/EEmD/E
Wandering & wandering, What place to rest the search
EmD/EEmD/E
The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth
EmD/EEmD/EEmD/EEmD/E
The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth
EmD/F#GAmBmCDC/ED/F#C/GD
From the earth...
EmD/F#GAmBmCDC/ED/F#C/GD
Earth...
EmD/F#GAmBmCDC/ED/F#C/GD
I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way
EmD/F#GAmBmCDC/ED/F#C/GD
I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way
F#m/EEmD/E
Oh the mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth.
