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

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

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

(Voice up the octave)
Em     G       D
Was it so long ago?
Em       G        D
It seems so long ago today.
Em      G           D
And the world will turn.
Em      G           D
And the world will turn.

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

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

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