Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
G+G
Born to open for

Mankind nature's door
     E7E7    A minorAm
A augmentedA life known by a few
              FF
And those who knew that shared
     A minorAm   Am7Am7
Their knowledge fewer cared
 F#7F#7          Bm7Bm7
About what plants could do
      Fmaj7Fmaj7    E7E7    D#D#
For most felt it was mad to conceive
C minorCm          D7D7            G+G
That plants thought, felt, and moved quite like we
   Fmaj7Fmaj7        E7E7    D#7D#7  C minorCm
But with instruments Bose would devise
       D MajorD           E minorEm  B7B7
Would take Science itself by a surprise, so

Chorus:
E minorEm      Bm7Bm7
On we go to where who knows
    C majorC           G+G    D MajorD  BB
To a place where there's still non-believers
   E minorEm         Bm7Bm7
What will it take for heaven's sake
   C majorC               B7B7    E7E7
For those who find what's real too hard to believe in
   C majorC        D MajorD   G+G    DmDm
It's that same old story again


Verse 2:
 G+G
Born of slaves who died

Too soon to realize
       E MajorE     A minorAm
The need his life would be
       FF
Selflessy he gave
   A minorAm     Am7Am7
His wisdom to a way
    F#7F#7         Bm7Bm7
Where first no minds would see
    Fmaj7Fmaj7      E7E7    D#7D#7   C minorCm
He said if farm land was to be rich
     D7D7          G+G
We must plant crops to replenish it
   Fmaj7Fmaj7      E7E7     D#7D#7   Cm7Cm7
But it took him persuasion and tests
    D MajorD              E minorEm  BB
To convince them Carver's way was best, so


Chorus:
E minorEm      Bm7Bm7
On we go to where who knows
    C majorC           G+G    D MajorD  BB
To a place where there's still non-believers
   E minorEm         Bm7Bm7
What will it take for heaven's sake
   C majorC               B7B7    E7E7
For those who find what's real too hard to believe in
   C majorC        D MajorD   G+G    DmDm
It's that same old story again
