Amber Dreams

E    A    x2       Pine sap drips upon my head              as I sit underneath a tree.

E    A    x2       Sunlight filters through the branches as the needles dance within the breeze.

B    C              Feeling quite contented          I close my eyes and

B    A              drift off into a dream   and the

E    A    x2       pine sap keeps on dripin’,       soon it will bury me.

A      E

 

E    A    x2       I woke up a thousand years later.  The amber had crystalized.  I was

E    A    x2       stuck in a lotus position,         looking through crystal eyes.

B    C              Wondering how to      break through this prism when,

B    A               whoa, to my surprise, the

E    A    x2       amber began to crack              and my joy began to rise.

 

E    A    x2       I wandered around the forest.  I wondered which way to go.  The

E    A    x2       path I had followed was no longer barren, the trail had been overgrown.

B    C              Everything was lusher,           denser and brighter. 

B    A              Everything took on a glow.  So I

E    A    x2       set out towards the sun.          I decided to follow the flow.

 

E    A    x2       The song that I heard was so hypnotizing, there was nothing that I thought.  The

E    A    x2       feeling that I felt was so mesmerizing there was no thing that I sought. 

B    C              The world is a very     wonderful place, there is

B    A              no reason to stay caught.        So

E    A    x2       open your eyes to the amber dreams,             mould the iron you have wrought.

 

E    A  x4         Open your eyes.  Open your mind.  Open your heart.  Open your life.

 

E    A  jam

 

E    A  x3  Open your eyes to the amber dreams, mould the iron you have wrought.
