Up the _ snowy spires, where [A] the air is thin as glass,
Once [E] I hear the cold mist clear, you [G] can see _ inside [F#] the earth. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
High in that crystal _ _ palace, [A] I built a sailing ship,
_ _ [E] Mast and wheel of polished _ brass, _ [G] _
nails of _ [F#] gold and silk. _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] I _ piped the engine steam, _ [A] I set _ _ _ _ felicitations,
I [E] _ consulted _ dusty maps, _ [G] set _ careful _ _ [F#] _ calibrations. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
Ever in, were ever in, [A] _ eerie through my scope,
_ _ [A] [C] I sailed deep into the _ _ hollows, [B] _
deep inside the earth. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I traveled a boiling _ river, [A] through _ streams of mercury, _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ Underneath volcanoes, _ _ [G] and the roots [D] of [F#] ancient trees. _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
Underneath _ stalactites, _ [A] I lit phosphorus _ lamps, _
_ [E] Sparks snapped in _ the _ air, [G] and coiled up the [F#] _ mass. _ _ _

_ [B] _ _ _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
watched _ enormous _ birds, _ [A] _ diving _ through the slate,
_ [E] As I stood upon the prow, I heard the birds sing.
I saw a cloud, in [G] my oil-skinned hat [F#] and _ jade,
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] At last my anchor caught, _
_ [A] and echoed through the snow.
_ _ [E] As I climbed an old rope ladder, _ _ [G] _
miles through [F#] the glow, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] Then up _ above I saw it, _
_ [A] a glowing _ little _ light,
_ [E] And I reached out and caught it, [G] in the center of [F#] the night. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
Tightly in my fist, _
_ [A] I held that glowing _ world,
_ _ [C] _ Deep down in the hollows, I [B] held the center of the _ world.
