A              A#        B                    C    D
Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
         A      A#                    B                     C    D
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
            A      A#                B                        C    D
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
              A       A#                     B                    C
They talk of days for which they sit and wait, and all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
           A      A#                 B                       C    D

[Mid-section]
G                    A  G                        A
All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
G                  A       G                  A
And my eyes, fill with sand, as I scan, this wasted land
G                                          A    A A# B C D  A A# B C D
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
          A        A#                  B                    C    D
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
           A     A#                  B                     C    D
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
             A         A#                B                          C    D
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
            A     A#              B                       C    D
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
 A A# B C D   A A# B C D
Ohh          ooh
