[F#] [F#]
[E] [F#m] [E] [F#m]
[C#m] [F#m] I recall [A] when I was small [F#m] how I spent my days [E] alone.
[F#m] The busy world [A] was not for me, [F#m] so I went and found [E] my own.
[D#] [D] I would [C#m] climb the garden wall [B] with a [A] candle in [C#] my hand.
[B] I'd hide [A#m] inside a hole of [D] rock and sand.
[C#m]
[F#m] On the stone an [A] ancient hand [D] in a faded [E] yellow green.
[F#m] Made alive a worldly wonder often told but [C#m] never [G] seen.
[D] Now [C#m] I'm never bound to labor [F#] on [E] the sea and [C#] in the sky.
[B] Every [A#m] man and beast [B] appeared a friend as [C#m] real as [C#] I.
[F#m] Before the [A] fall when they wrote it on the wall.
When [F#m] there wasn't even any Hollywood,
[D] Teddy heard the [C#m] call and they wrote it on [D] the wall.
For you and [G] me we [F] understood.
[E] [D] [C] [D] [A] [G] [F#]
[F#m] [E] [F#m] [C#m] [F#m]
Can it be the sad design could be the [E] very [F#m] same?
A woolly man without a face and a beast [C#m] without a [G] name.
[F#m]
Nothing here but [C#] history [B] and you [E] see what [C#] happened on.
[B]
Memory [A#m] rushed over me [B] now I step into [C#m] the [C#] song.
[F#m] Before the [A] fall when they wrote it on the [F#m] wall.
When there wasn't [A] even any [E] Hollywood.
[D] Teddy heard the [C#m] call and they wrote it on the [Bm] wall.
For you and me we [F] understand.
