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