Simple, lovely, silly, fun. That's how I'd describe this song.
Hit a Bm7 instead of Bm sometimes, in fact I do it most of the time.

--> Straight into VERSE 2, same chords as verse 1:

They sent me for the first time 
To the place they call their home.
Words could not describe to you
The things that i was shown.
And though i was so far away,
Not one thing did i miss,
Safe among my friends in golden
Heliopolis

rpt CHORUS

VERSE 3:
And the reason why they took me is
Something i never learned.
My body lay there sleeping when I 
Finally returned.
And the lover who I left behind 
Awoke me with a kiss,
And asked where i had been I answered 
"Heliopolis."

End on G, but only the lower notes.
