[Verse 1]
        Em                G
        At my house I've got no shackles
        Am                 C
        You can come and look if you want to
        Em                   G
        In the halls you'll see the mantles
        Am                      C
        Where the light shines dim all around you
        Am                   D
        And the streets are paved with gold and if
        Am                D                  Em
        Someone asks you,   you can call my name

[Intro riff] x2

[Verse 2]
        Em                G
        You are just a thought that someone
        Am                 C
        Somewhere somehow feels you should be here
        Em                G
        And it's so for real to touch
        Am                 C
        To smell, to feel, to know where you are here
        Am                   D
        And the streets are paved with gold and if
        Am                D                  Em
        Someone asks you, you can call my name
        You can call my name
                              Em    C   Am   D
        I hear you calling my name  yeah    all right now

[Solo]

[Intro riff]

[Verse 3]
        Em                G
        By the time that I'm through singing
        Am                           C
        The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing
        Em                G
        More confusions, blood transfusions
        Am                         C
        The news today will be the movies for tomorrow
        Am              D
        And the water's turned to blood, and if
        Am                 D
        You don't think so
                        Em
        Go turn on your tub
        And it it's mixed with mud
        You'll see it turn to gray
        And you can call my name
                           Em
        I hear you call my name
