Intro: ( AA#BCD ) x2
AA#BCD
Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
AA#BCD
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
AA#BCD
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
AA#BC
They talk of days for which they sit and wait, and all will be revealed
Bridge: ( ADFCGACGA#F ) x2 A#BCDAA#BCD
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
AA#BCD
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
AA#BCDAA#BCD
Oh.... Oh....

( ADFCGACGA#F ) AA
Oh, I been flying, Mama, there ain't no denyin'
A
I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin' (vocal improv...)
Bridge: ( ADFCGACGA#F ) x2
GAGA
All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
GAGA
And my eyes, fill with sand, as I scan, this wasted land
GAAA#BCDAA#BCD
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been
AA#BCD
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
AA#BCD
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
AA#BCD
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
AA#BCD
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir
Bridge: ( ADFCGACGA#F ) x2 A#BCDAA#BCD
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
AA#BCD
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
AA#BCDAA#BCD
Ohh ooh

When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
GA
When I see, when I see the way, you stay, yeah
GAGAGA
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...
GA
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
GAGAG
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there
