Let us begin

D
Em
C
By the bay waters,
Am
Berkeley's daughters
D
Called me to be an Aquarian child
Em
C
I was the crazed model
Am
for somebody's novel
D
Bought from the bookstore
Em
where hell was on trial
C
And there we unraveled
and dutifully traveled
Am
D
Out of our minds
C
D
There, we were out of our minds
C
D
There, going out of our minds
To find something better
Em
C
The old world was fading,
Am
the canvas was waiting
D
Pale eucalyptus and lavender light
Em
C
Recorded the mayhem,
Am
talked with our brethren
D
They yelled at the sun
Em
and they wandered at night
C
And everything mattered,
Am
all blissed out and tattered
D
And out of their minds,
C
D
oh, they were out of their minds
C
D
Oh, floating out of their minds
Em
To find something better

C
I met you there later, a candlelit seder
Am
D
Holy polemics,
Em
we thought were long gone
C
And Berkeley's still pa gan,
Am
still angry at Re agan
D
Brought us to bed by the luminous dawn
Em
C
Our souls and their secrets
Am
D
promised to keep us out of all time
C
There in a place at a time
D
C
D
There at whatever we'd find
Em
C
We'd find it together
Am
D
Em
C
Am
D
Em
C
Those indelible places
Am
we only see traces
D
Dubious sorrows of purple and green
Em
C
And now it's commuters
Am
with silver computers
D
Fed into trains bound for Mars
Em
C
I still have my moments,
G
my signs and my omens
D
Em
Holding my faith there like rain in a cloud
C
Am
Her up from the ru ins, some kind of union
D
Em
As if remembering and laughing out loud
C
By the blue water,
Am
I was the daughter
D
Heart of the world with the
Em
C
Am
mind of a child
D
And we'd find it together
