Verse 1
Gm7 (arpeggio)
Watery eyes of the last sighing seconds blue reflections mute and dim
Beckon tearful child of wonder to repentance of the sin
And the [Gmsus4]blind and lusty [Gm]lovers of the gr[Gmsus4]eat eternal lie [Gm]
Go on bel[Gmsus4]ieving [Gm]nothing since so[Gmsus4]mething has to d[Gm]ie
And the a[Gm7sus4]pes [Gm] cu[Gm7sus4]riosity [Gm]money power wins
And the [Eb6sus4]yellow soft moun[Eb6]tains mo[F]ve under[G] him
[D] [C/D]
Chorus
[D]I'm with you L.E.M. though it's a shame that [C]it had to[D] be you
[D]The mother ship is just a blip from your trip[C] made for[D] two
[D]I'm with you boys so please employ just a lit[C]tle extra[D] care
[D]It's on my mind I'm left behind when I should[C] have been[D] there
[D]Walk[G]ing with you[Gmsus4] [Gm]
Verse 2 (same as verse 1)
And the limp face hungry viewer fight to fasten with their eyes
Like the man hung from the trapeze whose fall will satisfy
And congratulate each other on their rare and wondrous deed
That their begrudged money bought to sow the monkey's seed
And the yellow soft mountains grow very still
Witness as intrusion the humanoid thrill
Chorus
I'm with you L.E.M. though it's a shame that it had to be you
The mother ship is just a blip from your trip made for two
I'm with you boys so please employ just a little extra care
It's on my mind I'm left behind when I should have been there
Walking with you
