(same chord sequence for other verses) There was a ragged band who followed in our footsteps Running before times took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tieus to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay The grass was greener The light was brighter When friends surrounded The nights of wonder Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by the force of some sleeping tide at a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world Marching drums bit (Nylon Strung guitar) e- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | B- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | G- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | D- | --2----2/4-4---4/5-5--5/-9--9--7--------7-9-10-7-9-5-7-7h9p7--5--3---------------------- | A- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | E- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | e- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | B- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | G- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | D- | -2----2/4-4---4/5-5--5/-9--9--9--5--7------------7--10--9-10/12----10p9--7-------------- | A- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | E- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | e- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | B- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | G- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | D- | -2---2/4-4---4/5-5---5/-9--9--7-----7-10--9-9-9-9--5--9--7-7-7-7---5--7--7/9-9-9-9--7--5 | A- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | E- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | e- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | B- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | G- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | D- | -2--2/4-4---4-5-5---5/-9--9--9--5--7----------7-5-3--2--3-----2------------------------ | A- | ------------------------------------------------------------5-----3--------------------- | E- | --------------------------------------------------------------------5---3--------------- | Then this intro comes in again.(x4) e- | -----15--------15--------18--------18--------11--------11-------------- | B- | -----13--------13--------16--------16---------9---------9-------------- | G- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | D- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | A- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | E- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Encumbered forever by desire and ambition Theres a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Though down this road I've been so many times (same sequence as in first Chorus ) The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river Forever and ever...
