Fm
C
Bb
C
When the
churches feel like graveyards,
so solemn and so cold
Csus4
Those who blaspheme passively
C
Csus4
F
have already lost their souls
C
Men will build their steeples,
stain their glass and pray in vain
Csus4
When the world loses its pity,
C
the pitiful shall reign
F
C
I hear that whistle blowing,
we're running out of time
Csus4
That train of lost souls
C
keeps me running,
their fate could be mine
F
C
I hear their cries for mercy,
on their way to limbo jail
Csus4
I'm one step ahead
C
of the hellhounds on my trail
I was sippin' coffee in Andy's
set at a sidewalk café
Csus4
C
Realizing at least half my life is gone
I was feeling alright,
watching life go by
Csus4
Thinking I ought to know
C
by now where I belong
And a waitress came out of nowhere
Right through the mist and said
Csus4
Is there anything else I can
C
Csus4
do for you?
C
Well she said it like she meant it
Said I'll have some parmesan and pears
And oh yeah,
Csus4
C
there's one more thing that you can do
Oh, can you tell me,
is there a white light,
a mere death,
Dsus4
a light of creation?
D
C
You know, the one from that big bang
Dsus4
so long ago
C
And is reuniting with that energy
D
Dsus4
what we call heaven
D
C
Or is what's in your kiss
G
F
all there is to know?
G
D
F
You know Moses climbed that mountain
C
G
D
And the Buddha was so
F
C
cool under that tree

And me, I'm here waiting
D

in your garden

Just to catch a glimpse of

the face of God

The young girl worked in fashion,
the old man was an outlaw priest
D
C
Csus4
They had noth ing much in common
C
but the adventure in their eyes
She said, I inherited my body,
my religion and my wealth
Csus4
C
Why am I never satisfied?
He said, uh, there's some things
Dsus4
you cannot be given
D
C
And there's some things
Dsus4
you cannot steal
D
C
She said, I will trade my youth
D
for your wisdom
Dsus4
D
He laughed and said, well,
C
it ain't quite that simple
G
F
But you've got a deal
And, you know,
G
Dsus4
D
F
Moses climbed that mountain
C
G
D
And Muhammad got
F
down before that cave

inside your garden

their word's the law of the land
F#
F
C
They used to look so regal
D
in their psychedelic colors
C
Csus4
There's no place for them now
C
In the land of the blind
Dsus4
Some turn into spirits
D
C
And some came crashing
Dsus4
down in flames
D
C
But with their dignity intact
D
Dsus4
Some keep on searching
D
C
G
Knowing they can't go back
F
The way they came
G
Have you heard that Moses
D
F
C
climbed that mountain
G
D
F
And Jesus walked in the desert sands
C
G
Dsus4
And we are waiting so patiently
D

in your garden
