http://www.myspace.com/aberfeldytheband
Simple, lovely, silly, fun. That's how I'd describe this song.
Hit a Bm7 instead of Bm sometimes, in fact I do it most of the time.
Standard tuning.
Chords: A: x02220; Bm: x24432; G: 320003; D: xx0343;; Dsus2: xx0340
INTRO
[A] [-] [Bm] [-] [G] [-] [D] [(Dsus2)]
VERSE 1
[A]One thing I was [Bm]sleeping,
Then [G]I was taken high,[D] [(Dsus2)] [D]
[A]Through the veil of dar[Bm]kness
That had [G]stretched across the sky.[D] [(Dsus2)] [D]
[A]Though I could see [Bm]nothing,
I [G]heard a voice say this[D]..[(Dsus2)]...[D]
BRIDGE
(get a helper to hold your nose for this bit, or just keep the beat and do it yourself)

CHORUS
[A]Beautiful un[Bm]usual sight
[G]Heliopolis [D]by[(Dsus2)] night.[D]
[A]Bathed in gold and shi[Bm]mmering light,
[G]Heliopolis ..[D(Dsus2)D]. by night.
--> Straight into VERSE 2, same chords as verse 1:
They sent me for the first time
To the place they call their home.
Words could not describe to you
The things that i was shown.
And though i was so far away,
Not one thing did i miss,
Safe among my friends in golden
Heliopolis
rpt CHORUS
VERSE 3:
And the reason why they took me is
Something i never learned.
My body lay there sleeping when I
Finally returned.
And the lover who I left behind
Awoke me with a kiss,
And asked where i had been I answered
"Heliopolis."
End on G, but only the lower notes.
