i recall when i was small
Dmaj7 E7 Dmaj7 F#m7
how i spent my days a lone
A9
the busy world was not for me
Dmaj7 E6 D#7 Dmaj7
so i went and found my own
F#4sus4/C#
i would climb the garden wall
F#/B E/A C#/F#
with a candle in my hand
Emaj7 A#m7 Dmaj7 C#m7 F#m7
i’d hide inside a hall of rock and sand
A9
on the stone an ancient hand
Dmaj7 E7 Dmaj7 F#m7
in a faded yellow – green
A9
made alive a worldly wonder
Dmaj7 E6 D#7 Dmaj7
often told but never seen
F#7sus4/C#
now and ever bound to labor
F#/B E/A C#/F#
on the sea and in the sky
Emaj7 A#m7
every man and beast appeared
Bmaj7 Emaj7 A7
a friend as real as i
