Achilles Last Stand

Em D/E Em D/E It was an April morning when they told us we should go Em D/E Em As I turn to you, you smiled at me D/E How could we say no? Em D/E Em D/E With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had Em D/E Em D/E Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again Em D/E Em D/E Sending off a glancing kiss, to those who claim they know Em D/E Em D/E Below the streets that steam and hiss, the devil's in his hole Em D/E Em D/E Oh to sail away, To sandy lands and other days Em D/E Em D/E Oh to touch the dream, Hides inside and never seen. Em D/E Em D/E Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flown Em D/E Em D/E The shackles of commitment fell, In pieces on the ground Em D/E Em D/E Oh to ride the wind, To tread the air above the din Em D/E Em D/E Oh to laugh aloud, Dancing as we fought the crowd Em D/E Em D/E To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfolds Em D/E Em D/E With guidance from the curving path, That churns up into stone Em D/E Em D/E If one bell should ring, in celebration for a king Em D/E Em D/E So fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet. Em D/E Em D/E Days went by when you and I, bathed in eternal summers glow Em D/E Em D/E As far away and distant, Our mutual child did grow Em D/E Em D/E Oh the sweet refrain, Soothes the soul and calms the pain Em D/E Em D/E Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again F#m/E Em D/E F#m/E Em D/E Em D/E Em D/E Wandering & wandering, What place to rest the search Em D/E Em D/E The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth Em D/E Em D/E Em D/E Em D/E The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth Em D/F# G Am Bm C D C/E D/F# C/G D From the earth... Em D/F# G Am Bm C D C/E D/F# C/G D Earth... Em D/F# G Am Bm C D C/E D/F# C/G D I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way Em D/F# G Am Bm C D C/E D/F# C/G D I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way F#m/E Em D/E Oh the mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth.
