Capo V E (trumpet solo) G5 F5 ( E5 ) When a room becomes an altar And what beast that must exist D5 It flies with music from our lips F5 And steals a kiss and blows it D5 E5 Out into the mist Where castles stand on cliffs And cobbled streets they wind and drift D5 And moods are made and set but shift F5 This place where skies are low D5 E5 And birds are big We went to sleep in day And woke again the same day D5 We have learned to cheat the time F5 And find the hours D5 E5 That the clocks cannot define As I looked up from that stage D5 I felt the thing that had been made And how it raged F5 And how it raged D5 How to explain? Something makes me howl G5 And shiver to the core A5 Ah outside if it was raining F5 G5 Then inside there'd be a storm A5 We've got a pair of hands for climbing F5 G5 And a pair of knees to spring A5 And a pair of balls for strength F5 G5 And a pair of lungs to sing A5 And these simple chords F5 ( F5 ) G5 That say: music is the language of us all A5 E5 A5 (x4) E... G5 F5 E5 To write these songs is to be written Ah the chorus always knows D5 What is in store F5 And what is more the thing that sings us D5 E5 Is the thing that makes us roar I felt that beast 'kisso my neck We clapped our hands F5 And heard them spread D5 There was a trumpet and a call F5 E5 A pack of Spaniards screamed for more Music is the language of us all Music is the language of us all Music is the language of us all Music is the language of us all A5 E5 A5 (x12) E... D5 I find it hard to speak emotional G5 Cos these things are the things that C5 Can't be said And when it's struck it strikes F5 G5 The memory from our heads A5 Once I wrote to play's F5 G5 To be immortal for a night A5 And despite the unknown hours F5 Something happens G5 C5 When the light turns out the lights A5 Then we fade and yawn F5 G5 To music that's the language of us all HAYMAN
