G#m    E           G#m E    G#m  E
Didn`t anybody see his hand move faster
                   F#
Than the lightning in his eyes

Oh! what a cold surprise the flying horses cried
G#m E              G#m             E
And didn`t anybody want to ask the calliope
   F#
To call the tune

The flying horses crooned but did not know

VERSE 2

    G#m               E
The Medicine Man sits on the stage
     G#m             E                   F#
Eats fire and water, earth and air while we all stare

The silver blade burns bright
                E
And tells us to beware
   G#m               E    G#m              E
Of mirrored passages that throw a thousand images
   F#
Of younger days
                                              G#
The wheel spins slower as it calls us back to play

E  B

VERSE 3
********
G#m                    F#
Round and round now we go

Shout your name to the wind
      Bbm
As it spins by your side
G#m                                       E
Colored lights echo as the sound slips on by
                     F#
Could that have been me

There`s a little bit of you and some of me

There`s a little bit of everything you see

But you don`t know why Harry cried

There`s a time right after love when you feel low

Take a look at the common man

He can talk with the use of his hands

Pass you on by with a smile

Like he just don`t care

Take a look at yourself in the light

People see by the look in your eyes
C                            D
Either you`re deaf or you`re blind
                  A

Morning comes and he is not around

But you don`t know why Harry cried

Well you pick him up and you put him in your hand

E              A            D             A
I once loved a lady who did change into a child
  E                D                A
I saw the light of day shine in her eyes
  A                           D                 A
I loved her like a baby and I raised her to the sky

     D             A
Or a wave upon the sand

Or just a drop of water in her hand
  A
A pebble or a broken shell
  D             A
A rock upon the shore
  E                D            A
I doubt if I could love her any more



CHORUS
