Standard tuning
Capo II


DI (xx0232@1)walked the heat of seven hills
AmEndless (x02210@1)talk of losing wills
EmGreat (022000@1)highways in a constant melt
GMen (320003@1)and women and children all have overbuilt
DBuying (xx0232@1)bread and paying for none
AmCreatures (x02210@1)of a waning sun
EmTeacher's (022000@1)hands are overrun
GClowns (320003@1)and gypsies have all but gone

GYou (320003@1)make me wanna
Am C G
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
Am C G
Shine over Babylon

DFreedoms (xx0232@1)etched on Sacred pillars
AmHollow (x02210@1)stones of mindless filler
EmCan (022000@1)lead to madman oil drillers
GWon't (320003@1)be long before we all are killers
DLittle (xx0232@1)boy lost way up the mountains
AmCities (x02210@1)drowning under boiling fountains
EmI (022000@1)dreamed of chilly, sunlit days
GI (320003@1)was trembling in a golden haze

GYou (320003@1)make me wanna
Am C G
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
Am C G
Shine over Babylon

DWe (xx0232@1)celebrate the golden cow
AmPraise (x02210@1)the bloated bank account
EmIf (022000@1)there's a god where is he now
GThe (320003@1)precipice is slipping further out
DSanskrit (xx0232@1)message from the mounts
AmLeave (x02210@1)your possession, hope abounds
EmThere's (022000@1)nothing here for you to cry about
GWe're (320003@1)all just followers from here on out
DI (xx0232@1)take the stage, I walk the planks
AmI (x02210@1)sing these songs with little thanks
EmI (022000@1)wait for shouts from crazy cranks
GI (320003@1)stand amidst the brown shirt ranks
DI (xx0232@1)found my way to Alexandria
AmWhere (x02210@1)gurus bubble up on gangea
EmScavengers, (022000@1)they run up and hand ya
GAll (320003@1)the junk that should have damned ya

GYou (320003@1)make me wanna
Am C G
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
Am C G
Shine over Babylon

D (xx0232@1)Am (x02210@1)Em (022000@1)G (320003@1)DIf (xx0232@1)everything in life was free
AmWe'd (x02210@1)float in your own reverie
EmThe (022000@1)things that yo can't seem to see
GSeal (320003@1)the gap between you and me

GYou (320003@1)make me wanna
Am C G
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
Am C G
Shine over Babylon
