To Ascend chords by Yes

Intro: E G#m E G#m
    E G#m F#

     E
Were you drifting
   G#m
On a strange tide?
E
Collecting visions
G#m
From the other side?
        E
Caught between day and night
     G#m
You were stealing moments past hours
F#
Of your life

And balancing on
       E
The edge of a knife
   G#m        E
Memories of once longer days
       G#m
They keep on flooding back
  E
The adventurous times when we
G#m
Traveled life's road
        F#
Though we were often blind
      C#m
But with a lot more heart
  E       F#
And for each other
      B
Taking the time
   Em
On a wing and a prayer
 B          E
A wounded bird in the hand
           F#
With the eyes of a child
   B     E
Come to understand
         F#
I will open the book
      B
Raise the pen
     E
Let it reinvent
  B
My life again
          F#
Take me from where I am

As a freed bird
E
Flies from the hand
        F#
To ascend, to ascend

(E G#m E G#m)

     E
Were you catching
         G#m
The last train to nowhere?
E
Playing out scenes
  G#m
Of dark desert days?
    E
Put it behind you now
G#m                F#
Call out those bleak shadows from your mind

And never again
         E
Slip through the cracks
  G#m         E
Memories of once longer days
           G#m
They keep on flooding back
    E
The adventurous times when we
G#m
Traveled life's road
        F#
Though we were often blind
      C#m
But with a lot more heart
  E        F#
And for each other
      B
Taking the time
   Em
On a wing and a prayer
     B      E
A wounded bird in the hand
          F#
With the eyes of a child
   B     E
Come to understand
        F#
I will open the book
     B
Raise the pen
    E
Let it reinvent
  B
My life again
           F#
Take me from where I am

As a freed bird
E
Flies from the hand
         B
