                    A
We passed upon the stairs,
                  D
Spoken walls and well,
                  A
Although I was a friend
                F
Sat on walls astrand,
                    C
Which came as a surprise,
                 A                           D
I spoke into his eyes, I thought you died alone
                    C
A long long time ago



Oh no, not me,
   C#                C
We never lost control,

You're face, to face,
         C#
With the man who sold the world.

(Intro 6 times)

                        A
I laughed and shook his hand,
                  D
Made my way back home,
                         A
I searched from farther land,
                      F
Years and years I roamed,
                      C
I gazed at gazers there,
                     A                         D
We walked a million hills, I must have died alone,
                    C
A long long time ago.



Who knows, not me,
  C#                C
We never lost control,

You're face, to face,
         C#
With the man who sold the world.

(Intro 6 times)
