The Great Discovery chords
Start Jamming...
Some people will use a symbolism of the relationship of God to the universe, wherein [Fm] God is a brilliant
[Eb] light, only somehow veiled, [Cm]
hiding underneath all these forms that you see as you look around you.
[Fm] But the truth is funnier than that.
[D] It is that you are looking right at [Bm] the brilliant light [Cm] now, that the experience you are having,
which you call ordinary, everyday consciousness, [Fm] pretending you are not it, that [D] experience
is exactly the same thing as it.
[Cm] There's no difference at all.
And when you find that out, you laugh yourself silly.
That's the great discovery.
[C]
[Fm]
[Cm] In other words, when you really start to see things, and you look at an old paper cup,
and you go into the nature of what it is to see, what vision is, or [Gm] what smell is, or
what touch [Cm] is, you realize that that vision of the paper cup is the brilliant [Eb] light [Cm] of
the cosmos.
Nothing could be brighter.
Ten thousand [Gm] suns couldn't be brighter.
I'll let me [Cm] tell you first I wanna weep, I'm no trouble.
[Ab]
It's just we have a thirst for the beat and the bubble.
We go into the [F] dream, go, we go,
[Ab] [Cm]
and then we visualize [F] our future in the [Bb] mirrors of the [Ab] above.
[Gm]
Don't wanna hear [Cm] no cliché.
[Gm] Chomping at the bit, but [Cm] biting every word they [Gm] say.
Don't wanna hear no [Cm] cliché.
What to don't repeat defeated when they speak in the [Gm] street.
Don't [Cm] wanna hear no cliché.
[Bb] Chomping at the bit, [Cm] but biting every word they [Bb] say.
Don't wanna hear [Cm] no cliché.
[Gm] Spin the phrase again, but [Cm] with say an original [Gm] set.
[Cm]
[Ab] [Cm] [Bb]
You walk [Gm] around high stepping, but don't see your feet.
And then [C] you're feeling so high, they [Bb] don't meet the street.
[C] So be ready for the winds, you gotta [Bb] beat the heat.
And to [Cm] the right, just right, and go [Eb] and reach the beat.
[A] And now, every person is [Bb] capable of a miracle.
[C] Steering across the city, [Gm] creating a verbal vehicle.
Being cool, calm, [C] collected, and [Gm] humble when all [Fm] is taboo.
[Cm] Ranting and raving, paving the way, cause we don't wanna hear no cliché.
[Bb] Chomping at the bit, but [Cm] biting every word they [Bb] say.
Don't wanna hear [Cm] no cliché.
[Gm] What to don't repeat [Cm] defeated when they speak in the street.
[Gm] Don't wanna [Cm] hear no cliché.
[Gm] Chomping at the bit, but [Cm] biting every word they say.
[Gm] Don't wanna hear [Cm] no cliché.
[Gm] Spin the phrase again, but with [Cm] say an original [Gm] set.
Working [Cm] together with all our people is imminent.
We'll be safe passing our own walking on the river.
Despite of the fighting, our way to the top of the mountain, giving it.
Everything we have has a [C] more than a hundred percent [Cm] limit.
It's not a world we recognize.
Great spirit, listen, if you're giving and beckon [Fm] right.
Use your third [D] eye and reply with second sight.
[Cm] Realize that all of our words don't wanna hear no cliché.
[Gm] Chomping at the bit, but [Cm] biting every word they say.
[Gm] Don't wanna hear no [Cm] cliché.
What to [Gm] don't repeat [Cm] defeated when they speak in the [Gm] street.
Don't wanna [Cm] hear no cliché.
Chomping at the bit, but biting every word they [Bb] say.
Don't [Gm] wanna hear no [Cm] cliché.
Spin the [Gm] phrase again, but [Cm] with say an original set.
