D                     D+
Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
   D6                   D7
With stars to fill my dreams
D               D+
I am a traveler of both time and space
D6                  D7
To be where I have been
             D              D+
And sit with elders of the gentle race
D6                     D7
This world has seldom seen
D                       D+
They talk of days for which they sit and wait
D6                  D7   D
When all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear

A
Ooh, baby, I been flying
No yeah, mama, there ain't no denying
Ooh, yeah I've been flying
Mama, mama, ain't no denying, no denying

Gm                   A
All I see turns to brown
Gm                     A
As the sun burns the ground
Gm                     A
And my eyes fill with sand
Gm                     A
As I scan this wasted land
Gm                                          A
Trying to find, trying to find, where I've been

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
Here is the path that led me to that place
Yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon
I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June
When movin' through Kashmir

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
Across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
Along the straits of fear

Gm
When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way,
      A       Gm A Gm A
you stay-yeah
 Gm                                      A
Ooh, yeah-yeah, oh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down
 Gm                                     A
Ooh, yeah-yeah, oh, yeah-yeah, but I'm down,
so down
 Gm
Ooh, my baby, oh, my baby,
                  A  Gm A
let me take you there
  Gm
Come on, let me take you there
                  A
let me take you there
