E (022100@1)               A (x02220@1)                   BYou (x2444x@1)were dreamin' on a park bench by the broad highway somewhere

E (022100@1)                 A (x02220@1)                  BWhen (x2444x@1)music from the carilon it seemed to hurl your heart out there

E (022100@1)          A (x02220@1)                                    BTo (x2444x@1)an angel bending down to wrap you in her warmest coat

Abm7
And you ask, "What am I not doing?"

She says, "Your voice cannot command."

B7sus4
She says, "In time, you will move mountains,

B7 (x21202@1)                   Eand (022100@1)it will co-------ome through your hands."

E (022100@1)              A (x02220@1)            BStill (x2444x@1)you argue for an option, still you angle for your case

E (022100@1)              A (x02220@1)            BLike (x2444x@1)you wouldn't know a burnin' bush if it blew up in your face

E (022100@1)              A (x02220@1)            BYeah, (x2444x@1)we scheme about the future as we dream about the past
E (022100@1)              A (x02220@1)            BWhen (x2444x@1)just a simple reachin' out might build a bridge that lasts

E (022100@1)              A (x02220@1)            BThere (x2444x@1)are thoughts enough to blow men's minds and tear great worlds apart

E (022100@1)              A (x02220@1)            BThere's (x2444x@1)a healin' touch to find you out on that broad highway somewhere

E (022100@1)              A (x02220@1)            BTo (x2444x@1)lift you high like music flyin through the angel's hair.
