A5          E5               A5    E5
Long ago he saw the light of day
A5               E5            A5   E5
Then the wind it blew the man away
      G5                                  D5
And i don't believe i wear rose colored glasses
    A5         E5             A5      E5
But i believe the man is going home

(verso 2?)
Long ago he set the ship aright
Then he sailed away into the night
And i don't believe i wear rose colored glasses
But i believe the man is going home

      G5                                   D5
And i know that we are more than dust and ashes
    A5              E5               A5     E5
And one day we will know what we have known
A5      E5
aaah!

           D5
But on the dark side
                   G5
There are times of suffering
''and i don't believe i wear rose colored glasses''
           D5
But as the pages turn
                       E5
One day we'll learn of everything

    A5   A5  A5         D5        G5   D5   C5   B5  F5
But now we   see  through glass...

(verso 3?)
When the ending came i said goodbye
I hope to meet him on the other side
And i don't believe i wear rose colored glasses
But i believe we have the greatest hope
''but i believe we have the greatest hope''
And i'll sing this as we're scattering the ashes
I believe the man has gone back home...
''i believe the man has gone back home...''

(refr?o)
But on the dark side
There are times of suffering
''and i don't believe i wear rose colored glasses''
But as the pages turn
One day we'll learn of everything
    A5   A5  A5         D5        D5
But now we   see  through glass...

This world is not our home
       A5
You can live like a rollin' stone
       Bb5                             C5  C5  C5  C5
But you cannot escape with your life
D5
We seek a city on fire
       C5
With the heart of a child's desire
       Bb5
We will cross that bridge
    C5          D5    G5
And enter into life
     D5         G5
Real life...

           E5
But on the dark side
                   A5
There are times of suffering
           E5
But as the pages turn
                       A5
One day we'll learn of ev'rything
                 E5
But through the dark years
                    A5
There are tears and suffering
           E5
But as the pages turn
                        F#5
One day we'll burn like lightning

        B5    B5  B5   E5       A5  E5  D5  C#5   G5
In that city in    the    sky!
