Alexander The Medium by Jefferson Airplane
Alexander The Medium
Capo:no capo
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
