Capo II


D
I walked the heat of seven hills
Am
Endless talk of losing wills
Em
Great highways in a constant melt

Men and women and children all have overbuilt

Buying bread and paying for none
Am
Creatures of a waning sun
Em
Teacher’s hands are overrun
G
Clowns and gypsies have all but gone

G
You make me wanna
Am C G
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
Am C G
Shine over Babylon

D
Freedoms etched on Sacred pillars
Am
Hollow stones of mindless filler
Em
Can lead to madman oil drillers
G
Won’t be long before we all are killers
D
Little boy lost way up the mountains
Am
Cities drowning under boiling fountains
Em
I dreamed of chilly, sunlit days
G
I was trembling in a golden haze

G
You make me wanna

Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
Am C G
Shine over Babylon

Leave your possession, hope abounds

I sing these songs with little thanks

All the junk that should have damned ya
