//// //// //// //

E5                 A5                     B5
You were dreamin' on a park bench by the broad highway somewhere

E5                   A5                    B5
When music from the carilon it seemed to hurl your heart out there

E5                   A5                                 B5 
Past the scientific darkness, past the fireflies that float

E5            A5                                      B5
To an angel bending down to wrap you in her warmest coat

CHORUS 


Ab5
And you ask, "What am I not doing?" 

F#5
She says, "Your voice cannot command." 

B5
She says, "In time, you will move mountains, 

B5                     E5
and it will co-------ome through your hands."

E5                A5              B5
Still you argue for an option, still you angle for your case

E5                A5              B5
Like you wouldn't know a burnin' bush if it blew up in your face

E5                A5              B5
Yeah, we scheme about the future as we dream about the past
E5                A5              B5
When just a simple reachin' out might build a bridge that lasts

CHORUS, 

then:
BREAK:  G5 F#5        Emin7 A5 A5 

//// //// //// //// //// //// //// ////


Yeeaahhh eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

E5                A5              B5
So whatever your hands find to do, go on and do it with all your heart

E5                A5              B5
There are thoughts enough to blow men's minds and tear great worlds apart

E5                A5              B5
There's a healin' touch to find you out on that broad highway somewhere

E5                A5              B5
To lift you high like music flyin through the angel's hair.

Ab5
Don't ask what you are not doing

F#5 
Because your voice cannot command

B5
You see, in time, we will move mountains

B5
And it will come        through -- 

--no chord-------- E5    A5    B5    E5    A5    B5 
Right through your hands.       ////    ////    //

E5                A5              B5
Through your hands //// //// //

E5         A5 (slow & fade on A5 , then end on E5 ) 
Through your haaannnnddss....
