To [D]where my [G]mind re[Em]treats




Bridge

[C]To a pathway long ago


A [G]guard stands in my [D]pass



[Em]Passage to the [G]shrine [D]please


[D]I po[G]litely [Em]ask




Verse 3


The [Em]melody [G]still plays [D]on


A [C]last few dash across my [Em]way

Be[D]fore the [G]music [Em]ends

[Em]Finally the [G]tune is [D]done


I [C]slowly cross the open [Em]space


[C]Glancing right I see a [Em]face


Who’s [D]time to [G]wait be[Em]gins

In Japan they kids hold up one hand when they cross. Kind of interesting to watch really.
