Alexander the Medium Jefferson Airplane
Lead guitar solos in G minor pentatonic.
[G]When the time does come [D]near again
[C]When the [Em]day does seem [D]clear again
[G]Make it in the [D]night time
[C]The dream [Em]ends in the [D]light time
[C]All of [D]you come [G]aw[D]ay
[C]Just a [Em]bow shot a[G]way
[G]Let me tell you 'bout a [D]story now
[C]A tale of [Em]glory and [D]power
[F]And I don't even [C]know your [G]name
[F]But I thought I'd tell you [C]all about it [G]just the same
[F]We are all [C]creatures of [G]fame, [D]lightness and [Em]liberty

[G]In the days of the [D]olden times
[C]Of ancient [Em]ladies and [D]maritime splendor
[G]Priests of Karnak and T[D]hebes
[C]Could walk through the [Em]oceans and the [D]seas
[C]And when the pyra[D]mid she would [G]si[D]gh
[C]The waters [Em]streamed from the [G]sky
[G]The ocean you know she is [D]your friend
[C]Your brother, your [Em]sister just as [D]sure as sin
[F]Put your [C]hands in the [G]water
[F]Rest your [C]feet on the [G]sea
[F]You don't have to [C]let your body [G]die, oh no no no
[F]You can come back a[C]gain if you [G]try, if you [D]try, if you [Em]try
[G]This song was made then by [D]you and me
[C]A billion years be[Em]fore these oceans [D]rolled
[G]Oh I can see you burning [D]brightly
[C]You shine like [Em]silver like [D]sun gold
[C]And a hundred [D]years from to[G]da[D]y
[C]All you [Em]people will be [G]gone away
[G]Down into the heart of the [D]sea
[C]Back to the [Em]time of wonder [D]why you and me
[F]And I don't even k[C]now your n[G]ame
But I [F]thought I'd tell you [C]all about it [G]just the same
If you [F]laugh real [C]hard you win the [G]game - hands down
[F]Before old Ale[C]xander 'twas [G]just the same as now
[F]Can you smell the [C]blood of [G]fame, [D]lightness and [Em]liberty?
[F] [Em]
