Shine over Babylon

[Verse]
C
I walked the heat of seven hills
Gm
Endless talk of losing wills
Dm
Great highways in a constant melt
F  
Men and women and children

all have overbuilt
C
Buying bread and paying for none
Gm
Creatures of a waning sun
Dm
Teacher’s hands are overrun
F  
Clowns and gypsies

have all but gone


[Chorus]
F
You make me wanna
Gm A# F
Shine    over Babylon

You make me wanna
Gm A# F
Shine    over Babylon


[Verse]
C
Freedoms etched on Sacred pillars
Gm
Hollow stones of mindless filler
Dm
Can lead to madman oil drillers
F  
Won’t be long before

we all are killers
C  
Little boy lost

way up the mountains
Gm  
Cities drowning under

boiling fountains
Dm
I dreamed of chilly, sunlit days
F
I was trembling in a golden haze


[Chorus]
F
You make me wanna
Gm A# F
Shine    over Babylon

You make me wanna
Gm A# F
Shine    over Babylon


[Verse]
C
We celebrate the golden cow
Gm
Praise the bloated bank account
Dm  
If there’s

a god where is he now
F  
The precipice is

slipping further out
C
Sanskrit message from the mounts
Gm  
Leave your possession,

hope abounds
Dm  
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
Gm  
I sing these songs

with little thanks
Dm  
I wait for shouts

from crazy cranks
F  
I stand amidst the

brown shirt ranks
C
I found my way to Alexandria
Gm
Where gurus bubble up on gangea
Dm  
Scavengers, they

run up and hand ya
F  
All the junk that

should have damned ya


[Chorus]
F
You make me wanna
Gm A# F
Shine    over Babylon

You make me wanna
Gm A# F
Shine    over Babylon


[Interlude]
C Gm Dm F


[Bridge]
C
If everything in life was free
Gm
We'd float in your own reverie
Dm  
The things that

yo can't seem to see
F
Seal the gap between you and me


[Chorus]
F
You make me wanna
Gm A# F
Shine    over Babylon

You make me wanna
Gm A# F
Shine    over Babylon


[Chorus]
F
You make me wanna
Gm A# F
Shine    over Babylon

You make me wanna
Gm A#   F~
Shine    over Babylon
