 Verse 1:<br/>
 <br/>
 Em                G<br/>
 At my house I've got no shackles<br/>
 Am                 C<br/>
 You can come and look if you want to<br/>
 Em                   G<br/>
 In the halls you'll see the mantles<br/>
 Am                      C<br/>
 Where the light shines dim all around you<br/>
 Am                   D<br/>
 And the streets are paved with gold and if<br/>
 Am                D                  Em<br/>
 Someone asks you,   you can call my name<br/>
 <br/>
 [repeat intro pattern 2X]<br/>
 <br/>
 Verse 2:<br/>
 <br/>
 You are just a thought that someone<br/>
 Somewhere somehow feels you should be here<br/>
 And it's so for real to touch<br/>
 To smell, to feel, to know where you are here<br/>
 And the streets are paved with gold and if<br/>
 Someone asks you, you can call my name<br/>
 You can call my name<br/>
                       Em    C   Am   D<br/>
 I hear you calling my name  yeah    all right now<br/>
 <br/>

 <br/>
 Verse 3:<br/>
 <br/>
 By the time that I'm through singing<br/>
 The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing<br/>
 More confusions, blood transfusions<br/>
 The news today will be the movies for tomorrow<br/>
 And the water's turned to blood, and if<br/>
 You don't think so<br/>
 Go turn on your tub<br/>
 And it it's mixed with mud<br/>
 You'll see it turn to gray<br/>
 And you can call my name<br/>
 I hear you call my name<br/>
 <br/>
 Coda:<br/>

 [multiple overdubbed guitar solos over Em; original release cuts off<br/>
  abruptly, reissues fade out]<br/>
