He was _ [E] born in the summer of [F#m] his _ _ 27th [D] [B] year, coming [E] _ home to a place he'd never [F#m] been _ before.
_ _ He left [E] _ yesterday behind him, you [F#m] might say he was born [D] again, [B] you [E] might say he found a key for every [F#m] door. _ _
_ _ _ When he first came through the mountains, _ his [F#m] life was far [D] away, [B] on the [E] _ _
road, hanging _ by [F#m] a stong.
_ [A] _ _ But [E] the string's already broken, and he doesn't really [D] care, [B] it [E] keeps changing fast, and it don't last [F#m] for long.

He [E] climbed Cathedral Mountains, he saw silver [D] clouds below, _ he [E] saw _ everything as far as you [F#m] can see. _ _ _ _
[E] And they say that he got crazy once, [F#m] and he tried to touch [D] the sun, _
[B] [E] and he lost a friend but kept the memory.
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ Now [E] he walks in quiet _ solitude, [F#m] the forests and [D] the streams, _ [E] _ he's embracing _ _ every step he [F#m] takes. _ _ _ _
[A] His sight [E] has turned inside of himself to try and [D] understand _ _
[B] [E] the serenity of a clear blue [F#m] mountain lake. _ _ _ _
