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