1. Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream,

                 D

    I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been.

                      D

    To sit with elders of the gentle race this world has seldom seen,

                         D 

    they talk of days for which they sit and wait, and all will be revealed.

    D

2.    Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace,

 

    whose sounds caress my ear,

D

    but not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear.

D          - D

    Oh !        Oh !

A

    Oh, yes, I've been flying, Mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin' !

    G                              A       - G                                       A

+     All I see turns to brown,        as the sun burns the ground,

G                                    A     - G                                    A

    and my eyes fill with sand       as I scan this wasted land,

G                                                                A

    trying to find, trying to find where I've been.

  D

3. Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream

D

    heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream.

D

    My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again,

D

    sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir.

 

+  D - C - C - D (2x)   +  D ~ ~

 

    D

4.    Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails across the sea of years

D  

    with no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear.

D           - D

    Oh !         Oh !

G                                                                A

    when I see, when I see the way, you stay, yeah !
