C,D,Em(x2)C,D,G,D,Em,C,D,Em
VERSE
[Em]This land today[D], shall d[C]raw its last brea[Em]th
[Em]And take i[D]nto its a[C]ncient depth[Em]s
[D]This frail reminder of its giant, dre[Em]aming self.
[D]While I, with human-hindered e[Em]yes
[D]Unequal to the sweepi[G]ng curve [D]of life[Em],
[C]Stand on this sing[D]le print of ti[Em]me.
CHORUS
[C]Human wheel[D]s spin ro[G]und and[D/F] round[Em]
[C]While the cl[D]ock keeps the pa[Em]ce.
[C]Human wheels [D]spin ro[G]und an[D/F]d roun[Em]d
[C]Help the light[D] to my fac[Em]e.
SOLO
C,D,Em(x2)C,D,G,D,Em,C,D,Em
VERSE
that time, today, no triumph gains
At this short success of age.
This pale reflection of its brave and
Blundering deed.
For I, descend from this vault,
Now dreams beyond my earthly fault
Knowledge, sure, from the seed.
CHORUS
D,Em(2x) C,dem(4x) D,Em(4x)
This land, today, my tears shall taste
And take into its dark embrace.
This love, who in my beating heart endures,
Assured, by every sun that burns,
The dust to which this flesh shall return.
[D]It is the ancient, dr[G]eaming[DF] dust of G[Em]od.
CHORUS 2X END WITH D
