I recall when [A9]I was small
How I [Dmaj7]spent my days a [E7]lone[Dmaj7] [F#m7]
The busy world was [A9]not for me
So I [Dmaj7]went and found my [E6]own [Eb7] [Dmaj7]
I would climb the [F#4sus4/C#]garden wall
With a [F#/B]candle [E/A]in my [C#/F#]hand
I'd hide[Emaj7] inside a hall[Bbm7] of rock and sand[Dmaj7] [C#m7] [F#m7]
On the stone an [A9]ancient hand
In a [Dmaj7]faded yellow-[E7]green [Dmaj7] [F#m7]
Made alive a [A9]worldly wonder
Often [Dmaj7]told but never se[E6]en [Eb7] [Dmaj7]
Now and ever [F#7sus4/C#]bound to labor
On the [F#/B]sea and [E/A]in the [C#/F#]sky
[Emaj7]Every man and [Bbm7]beast appeared
A [Bmaj7]friend as real as [Emaj7]I [A7]

B[Dmaj9]e fore the fall when the[Amaj7]y wrote it on the wall
When there [Dmaj9]wasnâ??t even Ho[F#m7]llywood
[F#m/E]They [Dmaj9]heard the call and they [C#m7]wrote it on the wall
For [Dmaj7]you and me

Can it be this [A9]sad design
Could [Dmaj7]be the very [E7]same [Dmaj7] [F#m7]
A wooly man wit[A9]hout a face
And a [Dmaj7]beast without a [E6]name[Eb7] [Dmaj7]
Nothin' here but [F#7sus4/C#]history
Can you [F#/B]see what [E/A]has been [C#/F#]done
[Emaj7]Memory rush [Bbm7]over me
Now I [Bmaj7]step into the [Emaj7]sun [A7]
