[Verse]
D#
I walked the heat of seven hills
A#m
Endless talk of losing wills
Fm
Great highways in a constant melt
G#
Men and women and children all have overbuilt
D#
Buying bread and paying for none
A#m
Creatures of a waning sun
Fm
Teacher’s hands are overrun
G#
Clowns and gypsies have all but gone
[Chorus]
G#
You make me wanna
A#m C# G#
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
A#m C# G#
Shine over Babylon
[Verse]
D#
Freedoms etched on Sacred pillars
A#m
Hollow stones of mindless filler
Fm
Can lead to madman oil drillers
G#
Won’t be long before we all are killers
D#
Little boy lost way up the mountains
A#m
Cities drowning under boiling fountains
Fm
I dreamed of chilly, sunlit days
G#
I was trembling in a golden haze
[Chorus]
G#
You make me wanna
A#m C# G#
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
A#m C# G#
Shine over Babylon
[Verse]
D#
We celebrate the golden cow
A#m
Praise the bloated bank account
Fm
If there’s a god where is he now
G#
The precipice is slipping further out
D#
Sanskrit message from the mounts
A#m
Leave your possession, hope abounds
Fm
There’s nothing here for you to cry about
G#
We’re all just followers from here on out
D#
I take the stage, I walk the planks
A#m
I sing these songs with little thanks
Fm
I wait for shouts from crazy cranks
G#
I stand amidst the brown shirt ranks
D#
I found my way to Alexandria
A#m
Where gurus bubble up on gangea
Fm
Scavengers, they run up and hand ya
G#
All the junk that should have damned ya
[Chorus]
G#
You make me wanna
A#m C# G#
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
A#m C# G#
Shine over Babylon
[Interlude]
D# A#m Fm G#
[Bridge]
D#
If everything in life was free
A#m
We'd float in your own reverie
Fm
The things that yo can't seem to see
G#
Seal the gap between you and me
[Chorus]
G#
You make me wanna
A#m C# G#
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
