A A# B C D
Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
A A# B C D
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
A A# B C D
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
A A# B C
They talk of days for which they sit and wait, and all will be revealed
A A# B C D
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
A A# B C D
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
A A# B C D A A# B C D
Oh.... Oh....
A
Oh, I been flying, Mama, there ain' t no denyin'
A
I' ve been flying, ain' t no denyin' , no denyin' (vocal improv...)
G A G A
All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
G A G A
And my eyes, fill with sand, as I scan, this wasted land
G A A# B C D A A# B C D
Trying to find, trying to find where I' ve been
A A# B C D
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
A A# B C D
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
A A# B C D
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
A A# B C D
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir
A A# B C D
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
A A# B C D
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
A A# B C D A A# B C D
Ohh ooh
G A
When I' m on, when I' m on my way, yeah
G A
When I see, when I see the way, you stay, yeah
G A G A G A
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I' m down...
G A
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I' m down, so down
G A G A G
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there
