              A5
I recall when I was small 

      D5           E5  D5  F#5
How I spent my days a lone 

                   A5 
The busy world was not for me 

     D5             E5  Eb5  D5
So I went and found my own 

                  F#5
I would climb the garden wall 

       F#5   E5   C#5
With a candle in my hand 

        E5         Bb5             D5  C#5  F#5 
I'd hide inside a hall of rock and sand 

                A5
On the stone an ancient hand 

     D5        E5    D5  F#5 
In a faded yellow-green 

             A5
Made alive a worldly wonder 

      D5            E5   Eb5  D5 
Often told but never seen 

             F#5
Now and ever bound to labor 

       F#5    E5    C#5
On the sea and in the sky 

E5         Bb5
Every man and beast appeared 

  B5             E5  A5
A friend as real as I

 D5                   A5  
Be fore the fall when they wrote it on the wall 
           D5           F#5      
When there wasn?t even Hollywood

F#5   D5                   C#5
They    heard the call and they wrote it on the wall 

    D5
For you and me

               A5  
Can it be this sad design 

      D5       E5   D5  F#5
Could be the very same 

               A5
A wooly man without a face

      D5           E5  Eb5 D5
And a beast without a name 

                 F#5
Nothin' here but history 

        F#5     E5      C#5
Can you see what has been done 

E5       Bb5
Memory rush over me 
      B5         E5   A5 
Now I step into the sun  
 D5                     A5  
Be fore the fall when they wrote it on the wall 
           D5           F#5      
When there wasn?t even Hollywood

F#5 D5                   C#5
They    heard the call and they wrote it on the wall
