[N] [Fm] [Ab]
[A]
[D] One evening by the olive tree, [C] [D]
strangest thing came over me, [C] [D]
a vision deep inside my soul,
[C] [D]
like out of time and days of old.
[C] [Dm]
This funny feeling made it seem [C] like [Dm]
I was caught inside a dream.
[C] [D]
As pharaohs laying down to sleep, [C] [Dm]
with riches, stones, [C] and slaves [Dm] to keep,
[A]
[D] I saw the Christians shed [C] their blood, [D]
I saw Noah faint, raging blood.
[C] [Dm]
And as I watched a mammoth drink, [C] [Dm]
from waters by the tundra banks,
[C] [Dm]
[G] before the ice [A] caps melted down, [C] and sea of [D] liquid all around,
[G] before the sculpting screwed us over, [C] before the [D] story of the world,
[G] before the Druids raised their spears, [C] and Jenga's [D] cast spilled blood and [G] tears,
before we got here, you and me, [C] way before [D] the olive tree.
[A]
[Ab]
[D] This funny feeling running through, [C] [D]
it was kind of like a deja [C] vu.
[D]
I really love that feeling when, [C] [D]
you know you're coming back again.
