And the miles that you traveled the distance

So believe no lies,

         G                      C                 G       C
And the businessmen will shake hands and talk in numbers
          G                C             G      C
And the princess will wake up from her slumber
               G                     C             G          C
Then all the knights will step forth    with their arm bands

And ev'ry stranger you meet in the street will make demands

So believe no lies,
              G     C

[Bridge]:
           C             D                    G
And we'll send you glad tidings from New York
C             D                G
Open up your eyes so you may see
C                D                G    Em
Ask you not to read between the lines
C                    D                G
Hope that you will come in right on time


G   C   G   C

             G            c               G      C
And they'll talk to you while you're in trances
            G             c           G      C
And you'll visualize not taking any chances
               G            c                   G      C
But meet them halfway with love, peace and persuasion
       G              c              G      C
And expect them   to rise for the occasion

               G  c
Don't it gratify
                        G    c
When you see it materialize
                       G     D D
Right in front of your eyes
               G
     That surprise
