Alexander The Medium Chords

   
Lead guitar solos in G minor pentatonic.

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

G                  D
In the days of the olden times 
C          Em         D
Of ancient ladies and maritime splendor
G                      D
Priests of Karnak and Thebes
C                      Em             D
Could walk through the oceans and the seas 
C                D             G D
And when the pyramid she would sigh
C          Em                G
The waters streamed from the sky
G                         D
The ocean you know she is your friend
C                  Em             D
Your brother, your sister just as sure as sin 
F        C            G
Put your hands in the water
F         C           G
Rest your feet on the sea
F                 C             G
You don't have to let your body die, oh no no no
F                  C           G           D           Em
You can come back again if you try, if you try, if you try 





G                          D
This song was made then by you and me
C                 Em                D
A billion years before these oceans rolled
G                        D
Oh I can see you burning brightly
C              Em          D
You shine like silver like sun gold
C             D            G D
And a hundred years from today
C       Em             G
All you people will be gone away
G                          D
Down into the heart of the sea
C           Em             D
Back to the time of wonder why you and me
F                 C         G
And I don't even know your name
      F                    C            G
But I thought I'd tell you all about it just the same
       F          C                G
If you laugh real hard you win the game - hands down
F             C            G
Before old Alexander 'twas just the same as now
F                 C        G     D             Em
Can you smell the blood of fame, lightness and liberty?

F Em
