      Tomorrow you can  climb a mountain,

      sail a sailboat  through a fountain.

      D                   G      D                     G

      D 
      Listen to the tune; and if it's loud, it's up to you. 
 
                Dsus4 
      It's only sounder than a sparrow and it shoots a bow and arrow. 
         
 
                D7 
      Through a song that's like a powder with a gun that's even louder.  
 
               G/D 
      And it's sad enough to hear you must a listen with your ear.  
 
                  D7 
      in order to get to you.
