Tom: C#m
A B C# C#m
[Verse]
C#m
Steer your way past the ruins of the Altar and the Mall
F#m
Steer your way through the fables of Creation and The Fall
C#m
Steer your way past the Palaces that rise above the rot
[Chorus]
G# A B
Year by year, month by month, day by day
C#7 C#m
Thought by thought
[Verse]
C#m
Steer your heart past the Truth that you believed in yesterday
F#m
Such as Fundamental Goodness and the Wisdom of the Way
C#m
Steer your heart, precious heart, past the women whom you bought
[Chorus]
G# A B
Year by year, month by month, day by day
C#7 C#m
Thought by thought
[Verse]
C#m
Steer your way through the pain that is far more real than you
F#m
That's smashed the Cosmic Model, that blinded every view
C#m
And please don't make me go there, though there be a God or not
[Chorus]
G# A B
Year by year, month by month, day by day
C#7 C#m
Thought by thought
[Bridge]
A
They whisper still, the injured stones
E
The blunted mountains weep
A
As he died to make men holy
E
Let us die to make things cheap
B
And say the Mea Culpa, which you probably forgot
[Chorus]
G# A B
Year by year, month by month, day by day
C#7 C#m
Thought by thought
[Verse]
C#m
Steer your way, O my heart, though I have no right to ask
F#m
To the one who was never, never equal to the task
C#m
Who knows he's been convicted, who knows he will be shot
[Chorus]
G# A B
Year by year, month by month, day by day
C#7 C#m
Thought by thought
[Bridge]
A
They whisper still, the injured stones
E
The blunted mountains weep
A
As he died to make men holy
E
Let us die to make things cheap
B
And say your Mea Culpa, which you gradually forgot
[Chorus]
G# A B
Year by year, month by month, day by day
C#7 C#m
Thought by thought
