_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [D] _ In the land of the lost horizon, _ where the queen lies dark and cold, and when the stars
[C] won't shine, then the [Bb] story's told.
_ [A] When _ _ [D] _ _
the world was smoking honey, _ and the magic was strong and true, _ _
and the strange [C] ones came, then the people [Bb] knew _ _ _ _ [A] that the [Dm] chains were _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Dm] on.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ Mine!
[Dm] _ In the land of [C] no [D] tomorrow, _ [Dm] where you pray just [Am] to end each day,
_ [Dm] and your life just [C] slowly melts [Bb] away.
_ _ _ [A] _ _
Each [Dm] day you hear the sand [C] as it moves and whispers,
[Dm] _ come and set [C] on my golden sea.
[D] _ [Dm] _ Maybe one [C] day you'll be just [Bb] like me,
and [Am] free until your [D] chains are off.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [Bb] Yes, your chains are [Dm] _ off.
_ [Bb] Still your [Dm] chains are off. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] You've [C] seen them walking on [D] the [Bb] water,
_ _ [D] you've [C] seen them flying through the [Bb] sky.
_ _ [D] _ [C] They were frightening [D] in the [Bb] darkness,
_ _ [D] _ [C] they had rainbows [Bb] in their eyes.

[D] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [Dm] When the world was [C] milking honey, [Dm] _ and the magic was [C] strong and true,
[Dm] _ and the strange ones [C] came, then the people _ [Bb] knew _
_ [A] that the [Dm] chains were on. _ _
_ That the chains were [C] on. _
_ That the chains were [Bb] on. _
_ That the chains [A] were on. _
_ _ _ Chains [Dm] were on.
In the land [C] of the lost horizon, [Bb] where the chains were [C] on.
_ _ [Dm] _ In the land [C] of milking honey, _ [Bb] still the chains [Dm] are [C] on.
_ _ [Dm] Where the queen [C] lies dark and lonely, [Bb] still the chains [F] are on.
_ _ [C] _ [Dm] And the world [C] was new and magic, [Bb] but the chains [C] were on.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [C] _ The chains were [Bb] on. _ _
_ [C] Yeah, the chains were [Dm] on. _ _
_ [C] Oh, the chains were [Bb] on. _ _
_ [C] Yeah, the chains were [Dm] on.
