LYRICS:

INTRO

D Dmaj7 D

E
by the time the luminous descent of the bright star unfolds

E D Dmaj7 D
and tablets of strangelove are shattered and bruised

E
by the time the oleander is falling from bloom

E D Dmaj7 D
and tears of the crocodile water the sun

C#m B
by the time you make up your mind

C#m A
if ever you do

C#m
I hear the drums of heaven too

C#m B
by the time you make up your mind

E F#
if ever you do

A B C#m
I hear the drums of heaven too


E B G D A E G

INTRO

E
by the time paradise alley is littered with rust

E D Dmaj7 D
and the arc of dayglo is curtained in gloom

E
by the time kidney bone cities are crumbling to dust

E D Dmaj7 D
and the empires and all of the emirated burn

C#m B
by the time you make up your mind

C#m A
if ever you do

C#m
I hear the drums of heaven too

C#m B
by the time you make up your mind

E F#
remember this too

A B C#m
I hear the drums of heaven too

A B C#m
I hear the drums of heaven too

E B
ice on the mountain

G D
wind and the dust storm

A E
sails in the desert

G D
it's old and exploding

E B
seers and the prophets

G D
dramas of heaven

A E
attention groud control,

G D
there's someone coming down, I don't know who

etc...

INTRO
