We passed upon the s[A]tairs,
Spoken walls and w[D]ells,
Although I was a f[A]riend
Sat on walls ast[F]rand,
Which came as so sur[C]prised,
I spoke into his [A]eyes -- I thought you died a[D]lone
A long long time ago[C]
(First chorus)
Oh no, not me,
We [C#]never lost control[C],
The face, to face,
With the [C#]man who sold the world.
I laughed and shook his [A]hand,
Made my way back h[D]ome,
I searched from farther l[A]and,
Years and years I roam[F]ed,
I gazed all gazers the[C]re,
We walked a million h[A]ills -- I must have died a[D]lone,
A long long time ago[C].
(Second chorus)
Who knows, not me,
I [C#]never lost control[C],
Your face, to face,
With the [C#]man who sold the world.
Repeat second chorus.
