Shine over Babylon

[Verse]
A
I walked the heat of seven hills
Em
Endless talk of losing wills
Bm
Great highways in a constant melt
D  
Men and women and children

all have overbuilt
A
Buying bread and paying for none
Em
Creatures of a waning sun
Bm
Teacher’s hands are overrun
D  
Clowns and gypsies

have all but gone


[Chorus]
D
You make me wanna
Em G D
Shine    over Babylon

You make me wanna
Em G D
Shine    over Babylon


[Verse]
A
Freedoms etched on Sacred pillars
Em
Hollow stones of mindless filler
Bm
Can lead to madman oil drillers
D  
Won’t be long before

we all are killers
A  
Little boy lost

way up the mountains
Em  
Cities drowning under

boiling fountains
Bm
I dreamed of chilly, sunlit days
D
I was trembling in a golden haze


[Chorus]
D
You make me wanna
Em G D
Shine    over Babylon

You make me wanna
Em G D
Shine    over Babylon


[Verse]
A
We celebrate the golden cow
Em
Praise the bloated bank account
Bm  
If there’s

a god where is he now
D  
The precipice is

slipping further out
A
Sanskrit message from the mounts
Em  
Leave your possession,

hope abounds
Bm  
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
Em  
I sing these songs

with little thanks
Bm  
I wait for shouts

from crazy cranks
D  
I stand amidst the

brown shirt ranks
A
I found my way to Alexandria
Em
Where gurus bubble up on gangea
Bm  
Scavengers, they

run up and hand ya
D  
All the junk that

should have damned ya


[Chorus]
D
You make me wanna
Em G D
Shine    over Babylon

You make me wanna
Em G D
Shine    over Babylon


[Interlude]
A Em Bm D


[Bridge]
A
If everything in life was free
Em
We'd float in your own reverie
Bm  
The things that

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


[Chorus]
D
You make me wanna
Em G D
Shine    over Babylon

You make me wanna
Em G D
Shine    over Babylon


[Chorus]
D
You make me wanna
Em G D
Shine    over Babylon

You make me wanna
Em G   D~
Shine    over Babylon
