[F#] [F#m] [E] [F#] [E]
[F#m] [E] [F#m] [C#m]
[F#m] I [A] recall when I was [F#m] small how I spent my [E] days alone.
[F#m]
The busy [A] world was not for [F#m] me, so I went and [C#m] found my [D#] own.
[D] I [C#] would climb the garden [B] wall with [A] a candle [C#] in my hand.
[E] I'd hide [A#m] inside a hole of [D] rock and sand.
[C#m]
[F#m] On [A] the stone an ancient [D] hand in a faded [E] yellow [F#m] green.
Made alive a worldly wonder often told [C#m] but never [G] seen.
[F#m] [C#m] Now I'm never bound to [F#] labor [E] on the sea [C#] and in the sky.
[B] Labor [A#m] and man and beast [B] appeared, a friend [C#m] as real [C#] as I.
[F#m] Before [A] the fall when they wrote it on the wall, [D] when there [F#m] wasn't even any [D] Hollywood.
They heard [C#m] the call and they wrote [D] it on the wall for you [G] and me, [F] we [E] understood.
[D] [Em] [D] [A] [G] [F#]
[F#m] [E] [F#m] [C#m] [F#m] Can it be the sad design could be the [E] very [F#m] same?
A woolly man without a face and a beast [E] without a [D#] name.
[F#m]
[C#] Nothing here but history, [B] can [E] you see what [C#] has been done?
[B] Memory [A#m] rushed over [B] me, now I step [C#m] into the [C#] song.
[F#m] Before the [A] fall when they wrote it on [F#m] the wall, when there wasn't even any [E] Hollywood.
[D] They heard the [C#m] call and they wrote it on [Bm] the wall for you and [G] me, we [F] understood.

[D] They heard the [C#m] call and they wrote it on [Bm] the wall
For you and [G] me, me [F] and the [E] colors
