E------15--------15--------18--------18--------11--------11--------------| B------13--------13--------16--------16---------9---------9--------------| G------------------------------------------------------------------------| D------------------------------------------------------------------------| A------------------------------------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------------------------------| C minorCm Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young AbAb In a world of magnets and miracles AbAb Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary AbAb The ringing of the division bell had begun G7G7 Along the long road and on down the causeway G7G7 Do they still meet there by the cut.
(same chord sequence for other verses) There was a ragged band who followed in our footsteps Running before times took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tieus to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay AbAb The grass was greener F minorFm The light was brighter AbAb When friends surrounded F minorFm The nights of wonder Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by the force of some sleeping tide at a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
