[G] Many years ago, _ _ [D] he _ [Am] looked out through a [Em] glassless window

was [Am] Babylon _ _ _ _ _

And there [G] came a time, _ [D] it _ [Am] moved out across the _ [Em] Mediterranean
Came to [G] Western Isles, [D] and the Greek _ [Am] young men _ _ _ _
With [G] their silver beards, [D] they laughed [A] at the unknown [Em] of the universe

And there [G] came a time, _ [D] _
kings, _ [Am] _ empires and _ [Em] revolutions
Life [G] just looks the same [D] when you open [Am] the thing _ _ _ _
_ [G] Sometimes it was faith, [D] power, _ _ [A] reason as [Em] the cornerstone

_ [A] Packed up, moved off from [Em] the planet
He [G] went to the moon, [D] _
to [Am] the moon _ _ _ _
Now [G] he's out in space, [D] hey
_ _ [A] _ [Am] Fixing all [Em] the problems
