       Em                 C 
In the courtyard birds singing

            Em              C
Through the window bells ringing

      Am                      Em
Oh so tall and wide, these confining walls

  Am           Bm
I look upon the world below

       Em               C
Sorrow seals our lips tightly

       Em               C
Horror stalks our sleep nightly

       Am                      Em
But my heart escapes from this attic room

    Am            Bm
I'm running freely through the town


    Am         Em
I remember, remember you

    Am            Em
I remember, still close to you

C             Am               Bm 
  No need to fear the distance here

         Em             C
Peace is shattered by oppression

        Em           C
Tainted oil meets rejection

         Am                    Em   
Yes and just in case I should soon return

  Am             Bm
My secret letters I will leave


    Am         Em
I remember, remember you

    Am            Em
I remember, still close to you

C             Am               Bm 
  No need to fear the distance here

Am             Bm           Am          Bm
  Boarding the train I take in one last look

Am                Bm              Am  Bm
  I'll keep these memories with me forever


    Am         Em
I remember, remember you

    Am            Em
I remember, still close to you

C             Am               Bm 
  No need to fear the distance here


    Am         Em
I remember, remember you

    Am            Em
I remember, still close to you

C             Am               Bm 
  No need to fear the distance here
