Shine over Babylon

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

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

have all but gone


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

You make me wanna
F#m A E
Shine    over Babylon


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

we all are killers
B  
Little boy lost

way up the mountains
F#m  
Cities drowning under

boiling fountains
C#m
I dreamed of chilly, sunlit days
E
I was trembling in a golden haze


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

You make me wanna
F#m A E
Shine    over Babylon


[Verse]
B
We celebrate the golden cow
F#m
Praise the bloated bank account
C#m  
If there’s

a god where is he now
E  
The precipice is

slipping further out
B
Sanskrit message from the mounts
F#m  
Leave your possession,

hope abounds
C#m  
There’s nothing

here for you to cry about
E  
We’re all just followers

from here on out
B  
I take the stage,

I walk the planks
F#m  
I sing these songs

with little thanks
C#m  
I wait for shouts

from crazy cranks
E  
I stand amidst the

brown shirt ranks
B
I found my way to Alexandria
F#m
Where gurus bubble up on gangea
C#m  
Scavengers, they

run up and hand ya
E  
All the junk that

should have damned ya


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

You make me wanna
F#m A E
Shine    over Babylon


[Interlude]
B F#m C#m E


[Bridge]
B
If everything in life was free
F#m
We'd float in your own reverie
C#m  
The things that

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


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

You make me wanna
F#m A E
Shine    over Babylon


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

You make me wanna
F#m A   E~
Shine    over Babylon
