Intro:

F#m7	E/F#	F#m7	E/F#
F#m7	E/F#	F#m7	E/F#


F#m7		  A9		    Dmaj7	      E13 Dmaj7	
    I recall when I was small how I spent my days alone
    
F#m7		       A9	       Dmaj7		   E13 Eb7
    The busy world was not for me so I went and found my own

Dmaj7		      C#m11		 Bmaj7  Amaj7 C#/F#
    I would climb the garden wall with a candle in my hand

    B/E		  F#sus2/Bb          Dmaj7 (2)   C#m11   C#m7
and hide inside a hall of rock and sand


F#m7		    A9		      Dmaj7		E13 Dmaj7
    On the stone in ancient hand in a faded yellow-green

F#m7	        A9		      Dmaj7	      E13 Eb7
    Made alive a worldly wonder often told but never seen 

Dmaj7	         C#m11		       Bmaj7   Amaj7   C#/F#
    Now and ever bound to labor on the sea and in the sky

    B/E		  F#sus2/Bb 
    Every man and beast appeared 

      Bmaj7		   E13 Eb7
    A friend as real as I

Chorus:

  Dmaj7			  Amaj7
Before the fall when they wrote it on the wall 

	   Dmaj7	   F#m7
When there wasn't even any Hollywood

E6/9 Dmaj7                   C#m7
They heard the call and they wrote it on the wall

    Bm7              Gmaj7 Fmaj7 Emaj7 Dmaj7 C#m11 Cmaj7
For you and me we understood 


Dmaj7 Amaj7 Gmaj7(low) C#m11 F#m7, then back to the intro.


2nd verse: Same chords.

Can it be this sad design 
Could be the very same
A wooly man without a face 
And a beast without a name 
Nothing here but history 
Can you see what has been done
Memory rush over me
Now I step into the sun


2nd chorus: The same, except for the end:

         Gmaj7 Fmaj7 Emaj7 Dmaj7 C#m11 Cmaj7           
 ...  understood

Dmaj7 Amaj7 Gmaj7(low) C#m7 F#m7

Bridge:

Bm7            F#m7        C#m7
Bm7            F#m7        E13 Eb7
Dmaj7     C#m11       Bmaj7 Amaj7   C#/F#
B/E   F#sus2/Bb   Abm11     E13  Eb7 then chorus

Note that the 2nd part of the bridge is just like
the verse but with one chord different (Bmaj7 -> Abm11)


CHORD DEFINITIONS: You don't have to use them exactly as
                   they are written, you can use other
