Intro A4 – D F#m Bm G x 4

And it was D morning and I F#m found myself mourning
for a Bm childhood that I thought had G disappeared
I looked out the D window and I saw a F#m magpie in a rainbow
the Bm rain had gone I’m not alone, I G turned to the mirror

I saw E you, A the D child
That once Bm loved A … the E child before they broke
E his heart… A our D heart
The Bm heart that A I be-E lieved was lost

D … Hey F#m you
Sur-Bm prised? More than sur-G prised
To find the D answers to the questions were F#m always in your own eyes
Do you Bm realise that you give it on G back to her?

But D that would only be retraced in F#m all the problems
that you e-Bm ver knew, so un-G true
For D she’s got to carry on with F#m her life
And Bm you’ve got to carry on G with yours

So I E see A it’s D me
I can do Bm anything A … and I’m E still the child
‘Cos the E only thing misplaced A was di-D rection
And I found di-Bm rection, there A is no E childhood’s end

E There A is no D childhood’s end
Bm ’Cos you A are my E childhood friend
E ’Cos you A are my D childhood friend
Bm Oh A lead me E on

Solo E A D – Bm A E x 2

D … Hey F#m you
you’ve sur-Bm vived, now you’ve a-G rrived
To be re-D born in the shadow of the F#m magpie
Now you Bm realise, that you’ve got to get G out of here

You’ve found the D leading light of destiny
F#m burning in the ashes of Bm your memory
You want to G change the world
You’d re-D signed yourself to die a broken F#m rebel
But that was Bm looking backward, now you’ve found the G light

E You, A the D child that once
Bm loved A … the E child before they broke
E his heart, A our D heart
The Bm heart that A I be-E lieved was lost

So it’s E me, A I D see
I can do Bm anything A … I’m E still the child
‘Cos the E only thing misplaced A was di-D rection
And I found di-Bm rection, there A is no E childhood’s end

E There A is no D childhood’s end
Bm There A is no E childhood’s end
E I A am your D childhood friend
Bm A E Oh lead me on
