Intro: D5   D5   D5

        E5
By the time the luminous descent of the bright star unfolds
      E5                                       D5 D5 D5
And tablets of strange love are shattered and bruised
       E5
By the time the oleander is falling from bloom
     E5                              D5 D5 D5
And tears of the crocodile water the sun


         C#5              B5
  By the time you make up your mind
C#5           A5
  If ever you do
C#5
  I hear the drums of heaven too
         C#5              B5
  By the time you make up your mind
E5             F#5
  Remember this truth
A5             B5              C#5
  I hear the drums of heaven too

 *  * Intro
       E5
By the time paradise alley is littered with rust
        E5                             D5 D5 D5
And the arc of dayglo is curtained in gloom
       E5
By the time kidney bone cities are crumbling to dust
        E5                               D5 D5 D5
And the empires and all of the emirates burn


         C#5              B5
  By the time you make up your mind
C#5           A5
  If ever you do
C#5
  I hear the drums of heaven too
         C#5              B5
  By the time you make up your mind
E5             F#5
  Remember this too
A5             B5              C#5
  I hear the drums of heaven too


E5  B5
      Ice on the mountain
G5  D5
     Wind and the dust storm
A5  E5
    Sails in the desert
G5  D5
    It's old and exploding
E5  B5
    Seers and the prophets
G5  D5
    Drums of heaven


A5  E5                            G5        D5
     Attention ground control, there's someone coming down, I don't know 
         C#5              B5
  By the time you make up your mind
C#5           A5
  If ever you do
C#5
  I hear the drums of heaven too
         C#5              B5
  By the time you make up your mind
E5             F#5
  Remember this too
A5             B5              C#5
  I hear the drums of heaven too
A5             B5              C#5
  I hear the drums of heaven too
A5             B5              C#5
  I hear the drums of heaven too
