Emaj7 Thing (x4)
           Emaj7                   A                     Emaj7    Bm A
             Right outside this lazy summer home
           Emaj7                                        A                    Emaj7    Bm  A
             You ain't got time to call your soul a critic, no

                    A                              C#m       B                                 A
                        Right outside the lazy gate of winter's summer home
                    C#m                                 B
                        Wondering where the Nutthatch winters
                     D                      A             Emaj7        A       Emaj7       A  C
                        Wings a mile long just carried the bird away

                                    G
                                    Wake up to find out
                                            C                                     G          C
                                    That you are the eyes of the world
                                           G
                                    The heart has it's beaches
                                          C                                                 G       C  C#
                                    It's homelands and thoughts of it's own

                                    D
                                    Wake now, discover
                                            C                                        G                         C
                                    That you are the song that the morning brings
                                           G
                                    The heart has it's seasons
                                          C                                         D       Bm  A
                                    It's evenings and songs of it's own
                                                        *Solo*   Emaj7 Bm  (repeat)


             There comes a redeemer, and he slowly too fades away
             There follows behind him a wagon that's loaded with clay

                        Seeds that were silent all burst into bloom and decay
                               Emaj7                                A                                      Emaj7      A  C
                        And night comes so quiet, it's close on the heels of the day

                                    Wake up to find out
                                    That you are the eyes of the world
                                    The heart has it's beaches
                                    It's homelands and thoughts of it's own

                                    Wake now, discover
                                    That you are the song that the morning brings
                                    The heart has it's seasons
                                    It's evenings and songs of it's own
                                                        *Solo*   Emaj7 Bm A (repeat)


             Sometimes we live no particular way, but our own
             Sometimes we visit your countries, and live in your homes

                        Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone
                        Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own

                                    Wake up to find out
                                    That you are the eyes of the world
                                    The heart has it's beaches
                                    It's homelands and thoughts of it's own

                                    Wake now, discover
                                    That you are the song that the morning brings
                                    The heart has it's seasons
                                    It's evenings and songs of it's own
                                                        *Solo*   Emaj7 jam (fade into the sunset)
