I recall when I was small
Dmaj7 E7 Dmaj7 F#m7
How I spent my days a lone
A9
The busy world was not for me
Dmaj7 E6 Eb7 Dmaj7
So I went and found my own
F#4sus4/c#
I would climb the garden wall
f#/b E/A c#/f#
With a candle in my hand
Emaj7 Bbm7 Dmaj7 C#m7 F#m7
I'd hide inside a hall of rock and sand
A9
On the stone an ancient hand
Dmaj7 E7 Dmaj7 F#m7
In a faded yellow-green
A9
Made alive a worldly wonder
Dmaj7 E6 Eb7 Dmaj7
Often told but never seen
F#7sus4/c#
Now and ever bound to labor
f#/b E/A c#/f#
On the sea and in the sky
Emaj7 Bbm7
Every man and beast appeared
Bmaj7 Emaj7 A7
A friend as real as I

Dmaj9 Amaj7
Be fore the fall when they wrote it on the wall
Dmaj9 F#m7
When there wasn�t even Hollywood
F#m/e Dmaj9 C#m7
They heard the call and they wrote it on the wall
Dmaj7
For you and me

A9
Can it be this sad design
Dmaj7 E7 Dmaj7 F#m7
Could be the very same
A9
A wooly man without a face
Dmaj7 E6 Eb7 Dmaj7
And a beast without a name
F#7sus4/c#
Nothin' here but history
f#/b E/A c#/f#
Can you see what has been done
Emaj7 Bbm7
Memory rush over me
Bmaj7 Emaj7 A7
Now I step into the sun
Dmaj9 Amaj7
Be fore the fall when they wrote it on the wall
Dmaj9 F#m7
When there wasn�t even Hollywood
F#m/e Dmaj9 C#m7
They heard the call and they wrote it on the wall
