| There | once was a | note, | pure and | easy |
| | G/C |
| P | laying so free like a breath, rippling by |
| The note is eternal, I hear it, it sees me, |
| | Fmaj7 | Dm6 | C | G/C | Fadd9/C | G/C | C | G/C | Fadd9/C | G/C |
| | Forever we blend as, for | ever we | die | | | | | | | |
| | C | Dm | F | G |
| I | listened and I | heard | music in a | word, |

| As | people assemble, | civilization |
| | G | G7 | C/G | G | G7 | C/G | G |
| Is | trying to find a | new | way to | die | | | |
| | Am | Emsus4 | E |
| But | killing is really | merely scene | changer |
| | Am | Dm/F | Am | Dm/F | Fmaj7/A | Am |
| | All men are bored | with other men's | lives | | | |
| Gas on the hillside, oil in the teacup |
| Watch all the chords of life lose their joy |
| Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness |
| The note that began all can also destroy. |
| | Am | C/A | Am7 | Dm/F | G/A |
| We | all know suc | cess | when we | all find our own dream | |
| And our love is enough to knock down any wall |
| And the future's been seen as men try to realize |
| | Am | Am7/A | Dm/F | G/A |
| | The simple | secret of the | note in | us all |
| [Today is the day when sound curdles mountains |
| Flowing and blowing each man it its wake |
| Destroying itself in the end with vibration |
| There's nothing on earth its challenge can take |
| There once was a note... listen |
