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