Capo on 1
[intro]
||:Bb / |Bb/F Bb/G :||
Bb (F) Bb/G Bb (F) Bb/G Eb Bb (F) Bb/G
I'm playing my gui- tar while my sister bangs the jar
Bb (F) Bb/G Bb F7
The glass sets up a sound like people laughing
Bb (F) Bb/G Bb (F) Bb/F# Eb Bb (F) Bb/G
It's going to my brain and it's easing all my pain
Eb F Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb
I must hear this sound again 'cause time is passing
[repeat info]
Mmm.
I'm walking by the sea and the shingle sings for me
The crabs are swimming down among the starfish
The rocks all clatter down and the seagulls fly around
But the whole trip rubs it in that time is passing, passing
Ab Eb Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb
Find it, I got to hear it all again
Ab Eb Bb Eb/Bb...
My heart has heard the sound of harmony
Eb Bb
Blind to it, as my tears fall again
Ab Eb Ab Eb Bb
It's only by the music I'll be free
[repeat verse pattern for instrumental section]
Eb Ebsus4 Eb
There's something in the whisper of the trees
Eb Ebsus4 Eb
Millions hear it, still they can't believe
Bb Ab Bb Ab Ab Eb Eb
There are echoes of it splashing in the waves
Bb Ab Eb Eb/Bb
As an empire of dead men leave their graves
Don't listen to people talk, don't listen to 'em selling souls
Don't listen to me or words from men above
Don't hear it in your needs and don't hear it in your greeds
Just hear it in the sound of time a-passing
Find it, I got to hear it all again
My heart has heard the sound of harmony
Blind to it, as my tears fall again
It's only by the music I'll be free
