Intro: [hD5, hD5, hD6, Bm9-A7s4] x2
Someone is tossing petals in a stream, somewhere hD5, hD5
someone is standing at the foothills of their dreams. And D6, D5
someone got a paint brush is painting over doubts, someone D5, hD5
opened up his eyes and saw the sun coming out. D6, D5
Someone was captive and found the courage to get off, throw a D5, D5
boulder in the well, somewhere the rain has stopped. D4, D5
Someone is finding the place where they belong. hD5, D6-D5
(hey, hey) D6, Bm9-A7s4
Well, everyday is summer, somewhere in the world and the
summer boys are headed for the thoughts that kiss the girls w/ their
impatient hands groping money, breast, & curls, they are
filled with desire.
And high in the hills there's a baby being born as
forgiveness and peace wash over bruises and sores, people
bridging the distance over nettles and thorns.
Chorus:
And everyone aboard on the merry-go-round hD5, hD5
some things will rise up so that others come down. If the D4, D4
Devil don't dance, heaven won't shine it's a D5, D5
mighty thick haze and it's a pretty thin line. If the D7+, D7+
faucet is tight enough, the love won't flow, if the D5, D5
love isn't bright enough the corn won't grow, if the D4, D4
night isn't dark enough the moon won't glow. D5, D6
hey! (1st time only) D6, Bm9-A7s4
Intro x1/2
A rich man counting money, tired man counting sheep while the D5
saint man counts his blessings, the angry man his beans. There's a D6, D5
million people pray-ing, raising up their eyes to what turns D5
out to be the same god, the same sky. And we are D6, D5
slightly scared of death, a little bit afraid so we D5
celebrate everything we can think to celebrate. We shall D4, D5
sing out loud to keep the hounds away. D5, D6-D5
D6, Bm9-A7s4
Chorus
Bridge: (pluck open 5th string when progressing from Bm to G)
Well, prisons will crumble, and governments will fall it's the Bm, G
order of freedom to be preceded by walls. 'Cause the D5, D7+
truth would be worthless, if no one ever lied so we Bm, G
carry our shame in the interest of pride. And we D5, D7+
have all these questions to make us go roam, and we Bm, G
got all this distance to make us come home. As the D5, D7+
sun burns the child learns the tide churns the world... Bm, D7+
turns. G (hold), D7+
Chorus: (hold chords w/ tap for 1st half)
And everyone aboard on the merry-go-round hD5
some things will rise up so that others come down. If the D4
Devil don't dance, heaven won't shine it's a D5
mighty thick haze and it's a pretty thin line. If the D7+
faucet is tight enough, the love won't flow, if the D5, D5
love isn't bright enough the corn won't grow, if the D4, D4
night isn't dark enough the moon won't glow. D5, D6
