Tom: C

C  Am  C  Am | C  Fmaj7 C  G  Am

C                            Am
I watched the waves from the mountaintops
         C                     Am
And the rockslides through the clouds
C                              Fmaj7       C
‘Cause this old world is gonna shake some day
             G               Am
And I’ll be somewhere lookin’ down

C                           Am
I’ll miss the coals and the cool night air
         C           Am
And the fire in our eyes
C                         Fmaj7    C
That world of shadows and twirlin hair
        G    Am
As the fire dies

[Chorus]
  Fmaj7          Em7
  You alone still every heart
  Fmaj7          Em
  You alone shall be
  Fmaj7             C     Am
  Just the world I never knew
          G            Am
  And the only...one I see

[Instrumental]  
C  Am  C  Am | C  Fmaj7 C  G  Am

C                            Am
Some toast the night as each day begins
         C             Am
Wearin’ shadows in between
C                     Fmaj7  C
I close my eyes until once again
             G      Am
The moon and I can dream

C                      Am
Little birds catchin’ fireflies
          C                  Am
Till the darkness pulls ‘em down
C                         Fmaj7     C
And little worlds hung on fire lit eyes
           G                   Am
Tryin’ to come a little closer now

[Chorus]
  Fmaj7           Em7
  You alone still every heart
  Fmaj7          Em
  You alone shall be
  Fmaj7             C     Am
  Just the world I never knew
          G            Am
  And the only...one I see

[Instrumental]  
Fmaj7  Em  Fmaj7  Em | Fmaj7  C Am  G  G | Am

C                            Am
I watched the waves from the mountaintops
         C                     Am
And the rockslides through the clouds
C                              Fmaj7       C
‘Cause this old world is gonna shake some day
             G                  Am
And I’ll be somewhere...lookin’ down
