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]
F#4sus4/c#
I would climb the garden wall
f#/b E/A c#/f#
With a candle in my 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]
F#7sus4/c#
Now and ever bound to labor
f#/b E/A c#/f#
On the sea and in the 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]wasn?t even Holl[F#m7]ywood
F#m/e Dmaj9 C#m7
They heard the call and they wrote it on the wall
For [Dmaj7]you and me

[F#m7] [E/F#] [F#m7] [C#m7] [F#m7]
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]
F#7sus4/c#
Nothin' here but history
f#/b E/A c#/f#
Can you see what has been done
[Emaj7]Memory rush [Bbm7]over me
Now I [Bmaj7]step into the [Emaj7]sun [A7]
B[Dmaj9]e fore the fall when they [Amaj7]wrote it on the wall
When there [Dmaj9]wasn?t even Holl[F#m7]ywood
