C, Bb
C Bb C Bb F C
Let's get away, you say, find a better place,
Bb C Bb F
Miles and miles away from the city's race,
Gm F Gm F
Look around for someone lying in the sunshine
C Dm C Dm C Gm
Marking time, hear the sighs, close your eyes...
C Bb C Bb F
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...
C Bb C Bb F
C Bb C Bb F
Stepping from cloud to cloud passing years of light
C Bb C Bb F
Visit the frosty stars in the backward flight
Gm F Gm F
Star becomes a vision, never mind the meaning,
C Dm C Dm C Gm
Hidden there, moving fast, it won't last...
C Bb C Bb F
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...
C Bb C Bb F
C Bb C Bb F C
Time passes all too soon, how it rushes by,
Bb C Bb F
Now a thousand moons are about to die
Gm F Gm F
No time to reflect on what the time was spent on,
C Dm C Dm C Gm
Nothing left, far away, dreamers fade
C Bb C Bb F
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...

Strange visions pass me by, winging sweetly close inside
Cm Bb F Cm Cm Cm Bb F Cm Bb F Cm Gm Cm Bb F Cm
Over the water, ah.... ah.. ah
C Bb
Swirling, the waters rise up above my head.
Gone are the curling mists how they all have fled.
Look, the door is open, step into the space
Provided there da do da, da, do da...
Ba - da - pa do da da - ba - pa do da da...

(Intro) x2
(Verse Riff 1) x2
(Verse Riff 1)
Let’s get away, you say
Find a better place
(Verse Riff 1)
Miles and miles away
From the city’s race
(Verse Riff 2)
Look around for someone
Lying in the sunshine
Marking time
Hear the sighs
Close your eyes
(Verse Riff 1)
Ba dapa doo da
Da dapa doo da doe
(Post-Verse Lead)
Stepping from cloud to cloud
Passing years of light
Visit the frosty start
In the backward flight
Soaring realms of visions
Never mind the meaning
Hidden there
Moving fast
It won’t last
Ba dapa doo da
Da dapa doo da doe
Time passes all too soon
How it rushes by
Now a thousand moons
Are about to die
No time to reflect on
What the time was spent on
Nothing left
But await
Dreamer’s fate
Ba dapa doo da
Da dapa doo da doe
Bridge:
(Cm section of Intro) x4
(Intro Riff)
Strange visions pass me by
(Gm Bridge Riff)
Winging swiftly close inside
(Intro Riff) (Play last Cm part twice.)
Over the water
(Play the bridge again with “Ahh...”)
Swirling, the waters
Rise up above my head
Gone are the curling mists
How they all have fled
Look, the door is open
Step into the space
Provided there
Die oo da
Die oo da
Ba dapa doo da
Da dapa doo da doe
(End with Cm part of Intro x4 and then just a C on A-3)
