🎸 Verse 1:

A minorAm
This dot on the map, my boy
G+G       C majorC
This is Olive Springs
DmDm       A minorAm
And the circle round the star
DmDm         E MajorE
They call Saturn's ring


🎸 Verse 2:

A minorAm
Glass is made of sand, my boy
G+G            C majorC

Seasons only go away
DmDm   E MajorE   A minorAm  G+G
To come back again

     C majorC  A minorAm
Sister Emilyne
     C majorC     A minorAm   DmDm
Shared my childhood dreams
        DmDm  G+G
And the tender days
       C majorC  G+G
Slowly died away

       C majorC   A minorAm
I can see her smile
   C majorC      A minorAm   DmDm
At a young boy's rhymes

And "dream" with "Emilyne"

No one's always right, my boy

Give your whole life long

And when there's a goal to reach

You can change the course of things
DmDm      E MajorE    A minorAm  G+G
But you can't stop the end
