:VERSE 1:
E5 G5      D5
   Oh how time
E5       G5           D5
And the stars in the sky are swimming
E5 G5            D5
I was here as a child, I ran here
E5       G5               D5        
Shining, fearless to the universe
( E5 G5 D5 )
E5     G5         D5
Was it so long ago?
E5      G5          D5
How the world will turn
E5      G5          D5
How the world will turn
 
 :VERSE 2:
E5 G5     D5      
   Oh and I
E5        G5              D5
With the sunlight in my eyes
E5 G5               D5
We wait here as a child, til night fell
E5 G5             D5
Just to see the satellites
E5 G5             D5                     E5
Now sometimes at night I will dream of satellites
        G5        D5
(Was it so long ago?)
E5       G5           D5
(How the world will turn)
E5       G5           D5
(How the world will turn)

  :CHORUS 1:
  G5                D5
  And the sky was so tall
        G5                   D5
  Oh oh oh From the marcy playground
               G5         D5
  When I was small Oh oh oh
        G5                  D5
  Oh oh oh And the sky was so tall
        G5                   D5
  Oh oh oh From the marcy playground
                 G5
  When I was a child

 :VERSE 3:
E5 G5           D5
   Oh and now time
E5      G5             D5
And the stars in the sky keep spinning
E5 G5            D5
I was here as a child I ran here
E5        G5              D5
Shining, fearless to the universe.

(Voice up the octave)
E5     G5       D5
Was it so long ago?
E5       G5        D5
It seems so long ago today.
E5      G5           D5
And the world will turn.
E5      G5           D5
And the world will turn.

 :VERSE 4:
E5 G5      D5
   Oh and I
E5        G5              D5
With the sunlight in my eye
E5       G5              D5
I would wait here as a child til night fell
E5       G5       D5
Just to see the satellites
E5       G5        D5                     E5
Now sometimes at night I will dream of satellites
       G5       D5
Was it so long ago?
E5       G5          D5
How the world will turn
E5       G5          D5
How the world will turn

  :CHORUS 2:
  G5               D5
  And the sky was so tall
        G5            D5 
  Oh oh oh From the marcy playground
              G5          D5
  When I was small Oh oh oh
        G5                   D5
  Oh oh oh And the sky was so tall
        G5                   D5
  Oh oh oh From the marcy playground
               G5         D5
  When I was small Oh oh oh
        G5                   D5
  Oh oh oh And the sky was so tall
               G5
  When I was a child

 :VERSE 5:
E5 G5               D5
And the world will turn
E5 G5          D5
And the world will turn
E5 G5           D5
The child is grown now (so tall)
E5 G5             D5
So the world may turn
E5  G5              D5
But I've seen the satellites.
