[D]
The thumbnail sketch, the jeweler's stick,
The idea to call my name.
Old man, don't lay so still tonight,
And yet, young, there's time to teach
Point to point, point observation.
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Leaves me cold,
[G] leaves me cold.
[F#] A moon I tear to call my [D] own,
[A] A hundred million birds [D] fly.
Singers sing me a given,
Singers sing me a song.
Standing on the shoulders of giants
And everybody's looking on.
Standing on the shoulders of giants
[G] Leaves me cold.
[F#] A moon I tear to call my [A] own,
A hundred million birds [B] fly away.
[E] Away.
[B] Away.
[D] [E]
[D]
I am the king of all I see,
My kingdom for all of us.
Old man, don't lay so still,
You're not yet young,
There's time to teach
Point to point, point observation.
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Leaves me cold, [G] leaves me cold.
[F#] A moon I tear to call my [D] own,
[A] A hundred million birds [D] fly away.
Away.
Away. Away.
Everybody hit the ground,
Everybody hit the ground,
