I was four years old to be precise
_ _ _ This is a very old Genesis song and I did a new version of this three years ago with Steve Hackett
We did a new version of this did some concerts together played at the Royal Albert Hall.
The Queen wasn't there.
I was a friend
She was invited
Anyway, this is the song

[Fm] The world is soft and warm
[C] it gives up some kind of heat a
[Cm] _
Salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed
[Bbm] _
Imaginary creatures are [Ab] trapped in birth
_ [Eb] _

[B] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Db] _
There's only [Ebm] one direction in the faces [Db] that I see
And it's up
[Ebm] _ It's where the chambers
[Db] _
Like a forest [Ebm] the sunlight it takes roots in [Db] every tree
They are pulled up [Ebm] by the magnet
Still believing that [Fm] we the chop it
