Tom: B

Intro:   Esus4*

B*             Bb9*
Fork lightning in your hall
Ab*                     G9*
Break the skin when you break the fall
G           D             E
I'll be the one to fix it up
B               Bb9
Love children of the new age
Ab                  G9
Just a hippy with a weekly wage
G            D                           G     A
There's no rebellion just a chance to be lazy


Em   G       A       Em
When fame is in your blood
    G          A          Em           
You follow the science of love
G        A     Em
Wave the magic wand
    F#
And hang on

The rest of us are living in a daze

Keep thinkin' 'bout the choice to be made

Here come the handmaidens of end time

Lost treasure from a primitive race

All the lives written on your face

can't fill the canyons of your mind
Em   G       A       Em
When fame is in your blood
    G          A          Em           
You follow the science of love
G        A     Em
Wave the magic wand
    G         F#
And hang on
G    F#

            Bm     Em
Now you've changed and jumbled the pieces
       Bm          Em
You've changed but you were better off before
    Bm          Em                
You talked to a roomful of strangers

G             D                   G    A
Here come the handmaidens of end time
Em   G       A       Em
When fame is in your blood
    G          A          Em           
You follow the science of love
G        A     Em
Wave the magic wand
G               A           Em
And all of your spells will break
G               A          Em
And all of your stars will fall
G               A      G   A   Em
So look out for number one
G       A       Em
Fame is in your blood
G    A    Em
