 Up the hill past 694, at the stone wall make a left,
  C majorC       G7G7            FF      G7G7   C majorC
and I will see you soon my friend if these old directions still direct (oh yeah)

I know we are real.

I know we are real, real, real, real, real, real, real...
       A minorAm
I know we are real.
