Verse 1: 
A5                             C5 
When shadows fall he'll close his eyes 
              G5       
To hear the clocks unwind, 
F5              C5        G5        A5 
Powerless to leash the hands of time 
A5                 C5                         G5 
Kindgoms fall the earth revolves the rain will come this spring, 
       F5              C5           G5         F5 
and nothing he could say would change a thing 


F5      C5       G5         F5 
Seven wonders crowed the man 
         C5      G5 
Knowing six are gone 
    D5       G5     C5         A5    D5 
And how the great illusion lingers on  
 
Verse 2: 
A5                      C5                G5 
He can't enfold the sun or moon or wind within his hands 
     F5                     C5         G5       A5      
But count the times he'll shout the great I am 
A5                        C5              G5 
With all the while a pontiff smile, veiling his disgrace 
   F5             C5         G5      F5 
At never owning more than second place. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
(Violin Solo) 
G5       C5     Eb5    D5    C5   D5    Eb5 
 
A5   C5     G5        F5     C5     G5     F5 

F5      C5       G5         F5 
Seven wonders crowed the man 
         C5      G5 
Knowing six are gone 
    D5       G5     C5         A5    
And how the great illusion lingers  
    D5    G5     C5        A5    
All the grand illusion lingers 
D5         G5  C5        A5      D5 
While the sad confusion lingers on  
 
4x 
A5    C5    G5 
4x 
A5    C5    G5 
 

Ends on: 
A5
