Verse 1
(A minor) (D minor) (A minor) (E minor) (F major) Music (A minor) (C major) (F major) (A minor)
Look at that picture on the wall
of the bronze -skinned Indian
he roamed the (F major) California hills until we came. (A minor)
(E major) In his (A minor) eyes a silent power
of the forest and the sea.
It burns free (F major) an d nothing bars it
from shining (C major) through his (E major) mind.
But (A minor) now people come and go,
through this busy train depot
and (F major) they plunge themselves in chatter
instead of (A minor) laughing wa (E major) ter
and the (A minor) men and women faces
bobbing on a stream of noise
still hold (F major) hints of forest silence
far behind (C major) their fearful fea (E major) tures
An (C major) d the listener in us all is surroun (E minor) ded by a crowd of (F major) rushing,
scattered people,
there's a swarm (A minor) around the platform,
train (C major) s are leaving, we keep leaving,
but the (E minor) listener in us all lingered
far (F major) behind the clatter
and the (E major) clamor of the
station ever waiting. (A minor) (E major)
And some (A minor) times don't you wake up
at the center of the night
An (C major) d you look up (F major) through a
sheer space to the stars (A minor) (E major)
And the (A minor) air so clear your nostrils
can inhale the universe
And the (F major) stars you face take focus,
they come pier (C major) cing into you (E major)
And the (C major) listener in you stands above
the cross (E minor) bars (E major) an (E minor) d the scars
You crouch (F major) under, taking cover
In the (A minor) heavy heat today
An (C major) d he stands a scout of silence
In the (E minor) folds of a greater silence
And you (F major) wonder what the rest was
And (E major) why you didn't notice
who was waiting (A minor) (F major) (E major)
Now day (A minor) light comes again
to (C major) this (A minor) busy station room
Where the (F major) Indian's face peers down
from a forgot (A minor) ten frame of time (E minor)
And the (A minor) men and women's faces,
lobbing on a sea of noise
Still hold (F major) hints of forest silence
far behind (C major) their fearful (E major) features
And the (G major) listen (C major) er that stands far
(E minor) behind our plans and (C major) schemes
He (F major) has our dreams to feed on
Till we (E major) know, till we see he's ever wait (A minor) ing
(F major) (A minor) (E major) (A minor) (D minor) (A minor) (Asus4) (A minor)
