[Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Dm] Our quest [Gm] is for no less than the [Dm] origins of mankind.
_ [A] _
_ _ [D] My name is Maria Soutola.
_ [Dm] When I was nine years old, [Gm] my world was torn apart.
_ [Dm] Even so, [A] I don't regret what we did, [Bb] what we discovered.
_ [A] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _
I'd got to know Hugh Hudson, the director of Altamira, [Gm] just socially.
[Dm] _ _ Eventually, the idea [A] of working together just grew.
[Dm] _ _ _ _
The cave of Altamira was discovered [Gm] by [E] an amateur archaeologist, [Dm] Marcelino Soutola,
[A] with his eight-year-old [Dm] daughter, [Gm] Maria.
_ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ [D] A wonderful character for [A] me to try to make some music [D] with that little parlour guitar in it.
[A] They seem to suit each other very well.
[D] _ _ _ _
Maria [G] _ _ [Bb] _
[Ebm] dreams that the bison are coming [Bm] alive, coming out of the walls, up her stairs,
into [B] her room, into her dreams and into her life.
Evelyn [Bbm] Glennie, who is a wonderful percussionist,
had [N] contacted me some years ago about the possibility of working together. _
Her music could conjure up the spirit of these enormous animals.
What is man?
Man is a creature composed of human soul, made in the image of God.
[Dm] _ _ _ _
This discovery [C] is of enormous significance in the history of mankind.
[Am] _
_ _ [Dm] I don't know if that is science, but [G] it's definitely [Dm] not religion.
I think that [Gm] all together we made quite an interesting [Dm] team.
There was myself, Evelyn [A] and Guy.
_ [Dm] _ Hugh was very interested in doing that from the filmic point of view
and make a [Gm] music that wouldn't be specific to a [Dm] time or a place.
