Standard tuning
Capo II


D5
I walked the heat of seven hills
A5
Endless talk of losing wills
E5
Great highways in a constant melt
G5
Men and women and children all have overbuilt
D5
Buying bread and paying for none
A5
Creatures of a waning sun
E5
Teacher?s hands are overrun
G5
Clowns and gypsies have all but gone

G5
You make me wanna
A5 C5 G5
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
A5 C5 G5
Shine over Babylon

D5
Freedoms etched on Sacred pillars
A5
Hollow stones of mindless filler
E5
Can lead to madman oil drillers
G5
Won?t be long before we all are killers
D5
Little boy lost way up the mountains
A5
Cities drowning under boiling fountains
E5
I dreamed of chilly, sunlit days
G5
I was trembling in a golden haze

G5
You make me wanna
A5 C5 G5
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
A5 C5 G5
Shine over Babylon

D5
We celebrate the golden cow
A5
Praise the bloated bank account
E5
If there?s a god where is he now
G5
The precipice is slipping further out
D5
Sanskrit message from the mounts
A5
Leave your possession, hope abounds
E5
There?s nothing here for you to cry about
G5
We?re all just followers from here on out
D5
I take the stage, I walk the planks
A5
I sing these songs with little thanks
E5
I wait for shouts from crazy cranks
G5
I stand amidst the brown shirt ranks
D5
I found my way to Alexandria
A5
Where gurus bubble up on gangea
E5
Scavengers, they run up and hand ya
G5
All the junk that should have damned ya

G5
You make me wanna
A5 C5 G5
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
A5 C5 G5
Shine over Babylon

D5  A5  E5  G5

D5
If everything in life was free
A5
We'd float in your own reverie
E5
The things that yo can't seem to see
G5
Seal the gap between you and me

G5
You make me wanna
A5 C5 G5
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
A5 C5 G5
Shine over Babylon
