[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
Back at the beginning there was absolutely nothing
E7
only infinite potential, and the Hindus call it Brahman
Csus
And the moment of expansion, though we cannot really fathom it,
Cmaj9
happened 14 billion years ago
C
The universe was born in a sudden burp of energy
E7
atoms started forming, they're the yeast and grain of matter
Csus
and next hydrogen was cooling, spawning seismic supernovas
G
The sky lit up like Hollywood
C
Now we had a solar system, a home we now call Earth
E7
The petri dish for algae where a primal cell division
Csus
that began hermaphroditic made an elegant transition to
D
sex and sex (more sex) and sex
[Chorus 1]
C E7
This is the history / of you and me
Csus Cmaj9
This is the history / of wonder
C E7
The history / of what we crave
Csus G
This is the history / of wonder
[Verse 2]
C
Vertebrates, invertebrates, and jellyfish, anemomes
E7
and things that crawled out of the sea. Paleontology.
Csus
Dinosaurs, yeah they were scary. Asteroid collision theory.
Cmaj9
Then the world got colder
C
Chimpanzees were changing and becoming homo sapiens
E7
Still somewhat controversial, what a magical mutation
Csus
Ritual and hunting tools and living space and painting
G
Poetry in motion
C
Societies and foragers and tribal rank and social strata
E7
Complex forms of heirarchy; matriarchal, patriarchal
Csus
Evolution, revolution, politics: that adds a sparkle
D
Watch the world go 'round
[Bridge]
G
And as for love, well some will say
E
It lights the road. It leads the way.
F
It calls us out of what we know
The space to breathe. The will to grow.
D
The dreams of men that came before
G
And everyone who wanted more
E
The plant that grows towards the light
C
The hero that did what was right
D
The dreams that haven't happened yet
Csus G
It's what we give and what we get
[Verse 3]
C
Prehistoric deities and Shamanism, pantheism
E7
Platoism, Daoism, Buddhism, Confucianism
Csus
Judaism, Islam, and the secret Christian mysticism
Cmaj9
Everybody's praying
C
Pythagorean theorem, and music of the spheres
E7
Marquis Laplace said the world we see is not what it appears
Csus
And to Carl Jung, the psychic streams mixed with alchemy and dreams
G
Sychronicity.
C
Stimulants and sedatives and opioids and entheogens
E7
Caffeination, insufflation, medicines, hallucinogens
Csus
Altering the organism; hated, loved, and feared.
D
And what about beer?
[Chorus 2]
C E7
This is the history / of you and me
Csus Cmaj9
This is the history / of wonder
C E7
This is the history / that endless sea
Csus G
This is the mystery / of what could be
C
Our accidental, transcendental,
E7 Cmaj9
monumental, experimental
Csus
integrating, mixed and blending,
Cmaj9
no repeating, never-ending
C
always yearning, always learning
E7
archetypal hero's journey
Csus Cmaj9
The history of wonder
