Chords with lyrics
B minorBm
A augmentedA
Up the snowy spires, where the air is thin as glass
E MajorE G+G F#F#
Once a year the cold mists clear and you can see inside the earth
B minorBm A augmentedA
High in that crystal palace I built a sailing ship
E MajorE G+G F#F#
Mast and wheel of polished brass, sails of golden silk
B minorBm A augmentedA
I piped the engine steam, I set velocitations
E MajorE G+G F#F#
I consulted dusty maps, set careful calibrations
D MajorD A augmentedA
Ever inward ever in, peering through my scope
C majorC BB
I sailed deep into the hollows, deep inside the earth
B minorBm
A augmentedA
I traveled a boiling river through streams of mercury
E MajorE G+G F#F#
Underneath volcanoes and the roots of ancient trees
B minorBm A augmentedA
Underneath stalactites I lit phosphorus lamps
E MajorE G+G F#F#
Sparks snapped into the air and coiled up the mast
A augmentedA E MajorE G+G D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE G+G D MajorD B minorBm
A augmentedA
I watched enormous birds diving through the slate
E MajorE G+G F#F#
As I stood upon the prow in my oilskin cap and cape
B minorBm A augmentedA
At last my anchor caught and echoed through the stone
E MajorE G+G F#F#
As I climbed an old rope ladder miles through the gloam
B minorBm A augmentedA
Then up above I saw it, a glowworm?s little light
E MajorE G+G F#F#
And I reached out and caught it in the center of the night
D MajorD A augmentedA
Tightly in my fist I held that glowing worm
C majorC BB
