Intro:

D  A, D  A (x2)

Verse 1:

D           A        D            A       D
 There is a land not far from the ears of sound,
    A       G         C         G        C
The eyes of sight can see; it's over the trees,
G          C           D        A       D  A
 You'll be there by to-morrow's breeze.

Verse 2:

D    A      D         A              D      A
 Few people get there quick by their chosen road.
G           C          G          C
 They don't know, it's quicker to go,
G        C      D    A   D  A
 By natu-ral ve-loci-ty.

Verse 3:

D           A       D      A        D
 There is a wall of doubt, surround-ing,
A      G            C      G        C
 Every-thing that's there; children fair,
G          C            D      A     D  A
 They ride there on the dreamy mare.

Verse 4:

D       A       D     A       D
 And at the big gate, waiters wait.
A               G      C        G          C
 They must fill in the form, de-nounce the norm,
G         C            D          A      D  A
 They are torn 'twixst praise and scorn.

Verse 5:

D           A       D     A       D
 And in the dawning dawn, yawners yawn.
A         G           C     G          C
 Not know-ing they've been, or they've seen,
G             C       D     A     D  A
 What they've seen or never seen.

Outro:

D  A, D  A
