[D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[C] At the time of recording [G] it, _ _ [D] we knew that it was [Bm] special.
[C] That it was special in so much as [D] it was [Am] breaking the format [C] of_
[D] OK, it starts with this really fragile guitar
and then it [F] just keeps building as it goes along.
[Am] There's a lady [E] who's sure [C] all that glitters [Bm] is gold
[F] And she's buying _ sterile to [Am] help her_
_ When we were running through this, Robert [E] was actually_
I remember he was [Am] sitting sort of in the corner [D]
against the wall,
sitting on the floor [F] with his back up against the wall
and he was just writing, writing, [Am] writing.
And he sang all the way through.
He must have had a good 80, 90 [D]% of the lyrics written there and then. _ _
[Am] _ _ You can have your own interpretation of what this [D] track is,
[B] what it implies, or even [G] what it means to you,
[A] how it affected you in the first place, you know.
[C] And us as a [Bm] listener, you know, from [C] the fans' point of view.
And that's absolutely marvellous, because I know that in my life
the sort of music [G] that had [Am] moved me in many fields of_
[C] and genres of music [G] are the ones [Am] that, you know,
actually make the hair stand up on [C] end.
_ _ [G] I'd always had an [Am] idea of something
[A] that would break [D] sort of musical rules and traditions.
So [Am] that_
Cos I'd been a session [D] musician
and I knew the one thing you don't do is speed up.
But [Am] there's music that I like that actually does speed up.
[E] So, er, then the drums come in.
So the whole [Am] thing is opening up, the whole picture is [A] opening up.
[D] I've got some good [Bm] news.
Yes, sir.
[C] Your [G] hair is hung in [Am] a wolf's bow.
Well, here she goes now.
[C] The [G] Piper's calling [F] you to join [Am] him.
_ _ _ [C] Dear [Bm] lady, can you hear the [Am] wind blow?
How do you know?
[C]
Yes, there [G] are wayliers on the [Am] west_
And then you get to the point [C] where, you know,
you've got the [Bm] guitar solo that comes in
and it [D] just gets wider and wider and more open.
[D] All the time, there's a momentum which is actually [Am] accelerating.
It's [C] getting faster [F] as well, so it's taking you along at a [Am] pace.
_ [G] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Am] And then by the [Gm] time the solo [F] finishes up with the sort of trill,
[Am] which opens it up [G] into this [F] last verse_ _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _
I've got [A] my interpretation, [G] obviously, of what the lyrics are,
and [Am] also beyond, if you like.
You [G] know, cos [F] it's thought_
[D] The music in itself is [G] provoking, it's thought-provoking,
[Am] which is like anything [A] that's any good is.
[C] So, er, [F] _ [D] I don't want to be saying
[Am] what my [G] personal _ [F] _ conclusions are.
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] It [Dm] was supposed to change music, that was the [Am] idea of it.
[G] And also change the sort of mood that you can [F] be in.
It can [F] transport you into something else.
_ _ And she's [N] _ far_
I stay _ away_
To _ _ [Am]
heaven_
