Lead guitar solos in G minor pentatonic.

G5                       D5
When the time does come near again
C5        E5            D5
When the day does seem clear again
G5              D5
Make it in the night time
C5         E5          D5
The dream ends in the light time 
C5      D5        G5 D5
All of you come away
C5      E5        G5
Just a bow shot away
G5                       D5
Let me tell you 'bout a story now
C5         E5        D5
A tale of glory and power
F5                C5         G5
And I don't even know your name
F5                          C5            G5
But I thought I'd tell you all about it just the same
F5          C5            G5     D5             E5
We are all creatures of fame, lightness and liberty

G5                  D5
In the days of the olden times 
C5          E5         D5
Of ancient ladies and maritime splendor
G5                      D5
Priests of Karnak and Thebes
C5                      E5             D5
Could walk through the oceans and the seas 
C5                D5             G5 D5
And when the pyramid she would sigh
C5          E5                G5
The waters streamed from the sky
G5                         D5
The ocean you know she is your friend
C5                  E5             D5
Your brother, your sister just as sure as sin 
F5        C5            G5
Put your hands in the water
F5         C5           G5
Rest your feet on the sea
F5                 C5             G5
You don't have to let your body die, oh no no no
F5                  C5           G5           D5           E5
You can come back again if you try, if you try, if you try 





G5                          D5
This song was made then by you and me
C5                 E5                D5
A billion years before these oceans rolled
G5                        D5
Oh I can see you burning brightly
C5              E5          D5
You shine like silver like sun gold
C5             D5            G5 D5
And a hundred years from today
C5       E5             G5
All you people will be gone away
G5                          D5
Down into the heart of the sea
C5           E5             D5
Back to the time of wonder why you and me
F5                 C5         G5
And I don't even know your name
      F5                    C5            G5
But I thought I'd tell you all about it just the same
       F5          C5                G5
If you laugh real hard you win the game - hands down
F5             C5            G5
Before old Alexander 'twas just the same as now
F5                 C5        G5     D5             E5
Can you smell the blood of fame, lightness and liberty?

F5 E5
