                    A 
We passed upon the stairs,
                  D 
Spoken walls and wells,
                  A 
Although I was a friend
                F 
Sat on walls astrand,
                    C 
Which came as so surprised,
                 A                          D 
I spoke into his eyes - I thought you died alone
                    C 
A long long time ago

First chorus

Oh no, not me,
   C#                C 
We never lost control,

The face, to face,
         C# 
With the man who sold the world.

Play intro } 6x

                        A 
I laughed and shook his hand,
                  D 
Made my way back home,
                         A 
I searched from farther land,
                      F 
Years and years I roamed,
                      C 
I gazed all gazers there,
                     A                        D 
We walked a million hills - I must have died alone,
                    C 
A long long time ago.

Second chorus

Who knows, not me,
  C#                C 
I never lost control,

Your face, to face,
         C# 
With the man who sold the world.
