[D] [Dm]
[G#] [D]
Thumbnail sketch, a jeweless stone, a mean idea to call my own.
Old man, don't lay so still, you're not yet young, there's time to teach.
Point to point, point observation, children carry reservations.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, leaves me cold,
[G] leaves me cold.
[F#] A mean idea to call my
[A] own, a hundred million birds fly.
[D]
Singer, sing me a given, singer sing me a song.
Old man, don't lay so still, you're not yet young, there's time to teach.
Point to point, point observation, children carry reservations.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, [G] leaves me cold.
[F#] A mean idea to call my [A] own, a hundred million birds fly.
[B]
[E] Away,
[B] away.

[D]
I am the king of all I see, my kingdom for all.
Old man, don't lay so still, you're not yet young, there's time to teach.
Point to point, point observation, children carry reservations.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, leaves me cold,
[G] leaves me cold.
[F#] A mean idea to call my [A] own, a hundred million birds fly.
[D] Away, away, away.
