[Am] [Em] came dancing across the water [D] with his guardians and gun, [C] looking for the new world [Am] or a palace
in the [Bm] sun.
On [Em] the shore lay Mount Azuma [D] with its mawkish leaves and pearls.
[C] In its halls he often wondered [Am] the secrets of the world.
[Em] And the subjects gathered round [G] him [D] like the leaves around a tree.
[C] He was a man of many clothes, just to see.
[Em] And the women all, [D] and the men stood straight and strong.
[Am] [C] They offered life and sacrifice so that others could grow.

[Am] People worked together and they lifted many [D] stones.
[Em] And they carried them to the flatlands, [D] but they died along [Dm] the way.
[Am] And they built up the pyramids, but we still can't do the day.
[Em] And she's living there, [D] and we love each other's death.
[Am] I [C] can't remember where, [Am] how I lost my way.
