[Primeira Parte]

C                                 
Play me something gently, I'm 
        F             C
across the ocean missin' home
           F                    C 
There are lights on sparklin' 
   C/B         Am       C/B   C
towers that shine dark when seen 
alone
C                               
Somewhere there's a mountain that 
   F             C
overlooks the sea
   F                C         C/B
I wonder if that mountain has got
       Am          C/B      C
 more rock than my band and me
C                           F    
And I ain't no victim to a naive 
       C
boy's dreams
       F                  C     
But I wish you were here now to 
C/B         Am        C/B  
see these damned old sparklin' 
      C
things

[Refrão]

        F             C
It's a long road to heaven (Long 
road)
        G          Am
It's a far drop to hell
           F              C
I pray we outlive this fountain 
(Pray we outlive)
   G                Am
I reckon time will tell
                           F    C
The stronger folks keep goin'
                         G      
No matter where they've been (No 
                      Am
matter where they've been)
And there are lights on sparklin' 
 F      C
towers
                     G         
That I'll never see again (I'll

C                          F
I am not the person that I was 
          C
yesterday
           F              C   C/B

   Am   C/B     C
will never be the same
C                            F   
Do you think God's a person or 
            C
the blinking lights?
      F              C     C/B   
They reflect in her eyes while 
   Am           C/B        C
she walks these streets at night
C                               F
Do you think God’s a person or is
               C
 He just the sound
      F                   C  C/B 
Of laughter through the walls in 
    Am     C/B        C
a place I haven't found?

It's a long road to heaven (Long 
road)
        G          Am

I pray we outlive this fountain 
(Pray we outlive)
   G                Am
I reckon time will tell
                           F    C
The stronger folks keep goin'
                         G      
No matter where they've been (No 
                      Am

And there are lights on sparklin' 
 F      C
towers
                     G         
That I'll never see again (I'll
