Intro: 
 
Am   Bm/A   
C/A  Bm/A 
G/A 
 
Am     Bm/A     C/A     Bm/A   G/A  
Forget, remember nothing flees 
 Am      Bm/A     C/A    Bm/A   G/A 
The force came from the flame 
Am    Bm/A      C/A     Bm/A   G/A  
I pass along the path inside 
Am  Bm/A  A        Ab/Bb  
My light shinning always 
 
Dm        Em/D        F/D      Em/D  
We'll get there first, a name cried out 
Dm        Em/D        F/D   Em/D 
And looked back on the way 
Am       Bm/A         C/A           Bm/A         G/A          
Recalling falling down, a lot of time was spent that way 
 
F#7               Bm           Em     
But this story starring me had already begun 
 Bm            F#7          G 
'Cause I had some vision in my sight 
Bm     Em         G    
On the journey to be one 
 
 
Dm      Em/D       Dm      Em/D          
Help me, help, please, help me, please 
Dm        Em/D       F/D    Em/D 
The screaming starts again 
Am          Bm/A    C/A        
The trick, I find something hid 
 Bm/A         G/A   
You look, you find, I win 
 
 
F#7       Bm         Em         Bm  
While working, while the play was on 
 F#7          G   
The play was alright then 
Dm     Em/A      Dm      Em/D 
Think thoughts, big thoughts 
Dm        Em/D       F/D       Em/D    
Take off and go home, back next week again 
F#7              Bm              
Right then, my story ended 
Em            Bm      
And a new one had begun 
  F#7            Bm           Em  
'Cause I had some vision in my sight 
  F#7          G       
On the journey to be one 
 
(*Am with subsequent jam over section with blues harp*) 
 
Am BmA 
C/A Bm/A (keep repeating) 
 
 
 
(outro-slowed down tempo): 
Esus4  G6   Am(add D) F  Esus4  G Am
