When The Earth Moves Again
by Jefferson Airplane 

INTRO (4 beats each with lead behind it):
A E-A E-A-E-A E-A  E   D

V1
    A
In golden Hannibal Carthage days marchin' onto Rome. 
E                                D
Knockin' on the door and findin' nobody home there 
A
Rome she cut our army down and left them in the snow 
   E                        
so now I go to where I come from, 
      D              E
now I go home to the Sun.

CHORUS
A        D           E
When the earth moves again, 
A        D           E
when the earth moves again my friend. 
A       D    E
Let the lady ride on thru, 
A        D           E      D
when the earth moves again. 

V2
 A                                   
Egyptian kings they sing of Gods and pyramids of stone, 
         E                               D
and they left the deserts clean and they left the deserts golden, 
    A 
and shinin' as a beacon for those that need a road, 
  E
into the day and thru the night, 
   D                   E
we go and find our way home. 

CHORUS 2

A        D           E
When the earth moves again. 
A                          D         E
 My love to all the people I leave behind.
A              D          E
Search out the new ground around you,
A        D           E       D
when the earth moves again. 

BRIDGE

     F#
Your head can pull your body around. 
            B
and you can leave whenever you can from the ground. 
D 
Take what you can on the land. 
A                 E      D
Sea foam glass is sand 

V3

A                                   
If you've only lived on earth you've never seen the sun, 
       E                           D
or the promise of a thousand other suns that glow beyond here, 
    A                             
And if you care to see the future look into the eyes 
        E                         D                      E     D
of your young dancing children,    don't be afraid of our ways 

CHORUS

A        D           E
When the earth moves again, 
A        D           E
when the earth moves again my friend, 
A       D    E
Let the lady ride on thru 
A        D           E      D
when the earth moves again. 
A               D       E
Moses Moses, the red sea closes 
A                 D     E
over you when you least expect it to. 
A        D           E
When the earth moves again. 
A        D           E      D
When the earth moves again
A........!
