Verse:
G
As I walked out one evening
   C           G          D        Em
To breathe the air and to sooth my mind
  C                          G
I thought of friends and the home I had
    C         G        Am     D          G  C  G
And all those things I left behind, woah-oh

Verse:
G
A silent star shone on me
   C            G     D Em
My eyes saw the far horizon
   C                 G
As if to pierce this veil of time
      C         G/B     Am     D     G  C  G
And escape this earthly prison, woah-oh

Chorus:
           D      G
Will there come a time when the memories fade
    C                D          Em
And pass on with the long, long years?
C                G
When the ties no longer bind
      C       G/B       Am      D
Lord, save me from this darkest fear

Don't let me come home a stranger
           Em       D    G        C  G
I couldn't stand to be a stranger

Verse:
G
In this place so far from home
     C       G              D          Em
They know my name, but they don't know me
     C                   G
They hear my voice, they see my face
    C          G/B    Am       D        G  C  G
But they can't lay no claim on me, woah-oh

Chorus:
           D      G
Will there come a time when the memories fade

And pass on with the long, long years?
C                G
When the ties no longer bind

Lord, save me from this darkest fear

As I walk this universe
  C       G       D        Em
I free my mind of time and space
  C                  G
I wander through the galaxy
    C     G/B  Am      D           G  C  G
But never do I find my place, woah-oh
