Verse 1
Am
I
C
had spend the whole day lying on the sand,
G
Sifting tiny golden gains and
Am
dreaming I was tanned.
My eyelids closed,
C
the burning sun high up in the sky.
G
Make swiftly moving scarlet
Am
patterns deep within my eye.
Verse 2
Am
Then the red sun disappeared
F
C
and a chill came on my skin.
G
I felt a shadow on my face and a
Am
coldness from within.
C
Through slits between my eyelids I saw a girl,
kneeling down
G
And the sun, I think it was,
Am
formed a halo, or a crown.
Verse 3
Am
I heard a week and croaking
C
voice I recognize as mine.
G
Ask her where she came from,
Am
or for some other sign.
Dm
Am
She smiled and closed my eyelids
C
with two fingers of her hand.
G
Saying I'm from the other side
Am
and soon you'll understand.
Verse 4
C
Oh, she held my hands,
G
as if to comfort me and said:
Dm
"Don't be afraid,
F
I'm your lifelong guide.
C
I've come so I can show you
G
how to set your spirit free.
Dm
F
So listen to the music, as I take you through,
Am
To the other side."
Verse 5
Am
In that instant I seemed to rise
C
and she holding my arm.
G
Entered a bright passageway
Am
that gave me no alarm.
Just a growing love,
C
forgiveness and trust all mixed as one
G
And peace, above all,
Am
quit peace of something finished - done.
Verse 6
Am
As we reached the place of comfort,
C
the strongest point of light.
G
I felt her stop me, motionless,
Am
the end of headlong flight.
She entered in the brightness,
C
spoke to others waiting there.
G
Then, returning to me,
Am
softly said: "Your time is not yet here."
Verse 7
C
Oh, she held my hands,
G
as if to comfort me and said:
Dm
"Don't be afraid,
F
I'm your lifelong guide.
C
I've come so I can show you
G
how to set your spirit free.
Dm
So listen to the music,
F
as I take you through,
Am
To the other side."
Verse 8
Am
You must return and tell the others
C
waiting to come through,
G
Of the love, forgiveness,
Am
peace and light that lie and store for you
And play to them, the music,
C
play it strong and play with pride.
G
So that they won't be afraid
Am
to pass - to the other side.
Verse 9
C
Oh, she held my hands,
G
as if to comfort me and said:
Dm
"Don't be afraid,
F
I'm your lifelong guide.
C
I've come so I can show you
G
how to set your spirit free.
Dm
So listen to the music,
F
as I take you through,
Am
To the other side."
F
Verse 10
Am
To the other side,
F
Am
to the other side.
