Verse 1
Will (G major) he (E flat major) walk (G major) up?
Will he walk (E flat major) (G major) up?
Won't (B major) you help (D minor) me, please?
I'm afraid (G major) that I (D major) might fall
For my (F major) eyes (F minor) and knees
(C minor) Have grown frail (F major) behind (C major) this wall
Let me (F sharpdim) come to you,
(G major) though it appears (C major) I've lost (B flat major) my pep. (A minor)
But (B major) as this (C sharp major) ancient relic read,
in the Dao of (Bsus4) Jing it (B major) said,
The jour (E major) ney of a (A sharp major) thousand miles
begins (F sharp major) with just one
step. (D sharp minor) (B major) (Aaug) (D sharp minor)
Beyond (G sharp minor) this door's a fact (D sharp minor) ory,
the gat (G sharp minor) from just a (D sharp minor) bean.
Beyond (G sharp minor) this door, (D sharp minor) surprise is in store,
(B major) but it must be believed (D sharp minor) to be seen.
Beyond (G sharp minor) this door's inven (D sharp minor) tion,
where mind (A flat minor) meets with machine.
(E flat minor) Beyond (A flat minor) these gates,
aston (E flat minor) ishment waits,
(B major) but it must (E flat minor) be believed (B flat major) to be seen. (E flat minor)
No ma (A flat minor) gic spells, no po (E flat minor) tions,
or swellish (A flat minor) air (E flat minor) domain.
My kingdom's (A flat minor) cre (D flat major) ated from no (G flat minor) tions,
(G flat major) all swirling (F major) inside of my brain.
(B flat major) Beyond (A flat minor) this door is a ban (E flat minor) quet
of Wonka (A flat minor) -made cuisine (E flat minor)
A luck (A flat minor) y few will get (E flat minor) to pass through,
(B major) but it must (D sharp minor) be believed (A sharp major) to be seen (E flat minor)
Beyond (A major) this (A minor) door is mu (E minor) sic,
come dance (A minor) betwixt an (A major) d between (E minor)
Beyond (A minor) this waltz is (A major) a world (E minor)
without fault (C major) s,
but it must (E minor) be (Bsus4) believed (B major) to be seen. (E minor)
Beyond (A minor) this door's a puzzle, (E minor)
you'll find (A minor) out what I mean. (E minor)
Beyond (A minor) this gate is a world (E minor) I create,
(C major) but it must (E minor) be be (B major) lieved
to be seen. (E major) (E minor) (F major) (E flat major)
(A major) Despite the (D major) man (D minor) seen at (D major) these doors,
my childhood home was bland like yours.
But I (C sharp major) knew how to look to find (E flat minor)
(B major) a world that (C sharp major) wasn't colorblind. (B major)
Let's hope (F major) that you're a bit like (B flat major) me
as (E major) you walk through my (A minor) factory. (A major)
For (E flatdim) in the end, there's quite a prize
If (Dsus4) you can see with (D major) more than eyes
(B minor) (B major) (E minor) Your life's (A minor)
about to change (E minor) now
So don't (A minor) get left behind (E minor)
Do thing (A minor) s appear (D major) quite strange (G major) now?
Ima (F sharp major) gine the wonders you'll (B major) find
Bey (B flat minor) ond the storm is chocolate (F minor)
So tasty, (B flat minor) it's obscene (F minor)
So fol (B flat minor) low me
And (F minor) I guaran (D flat major) tee
That this (Ddim) world (A flat major) I've conceived
And all I've achieved
Must (E major) be believed
(C major) To be (F minor) seen! (B flat minor) (F minor) (B flat minor) (F minor)
Golden (B flat minor) ticket winners!
Gloop! (B flat minor) TV! Beauregard! (A major) Salt!
(D flat major) (B major) Buckets! (C sharp major) (C major)
Do come in!
