High Hopes Teclado

	    
Intro: 4 X    
 

Cm            Cm7           Ab                              Cm  
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young  
               Cm7                 Ab  
In a world of magnets and miracles  
Cm                      Cm7                   Ab  
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary  
Cm                   Cm7                 Ab  
The ringing of the division bell had begun  
               Bb            G7  
Along the long road and on down the causeway  
Ab             Bb            G7  
Do they still meet there by the cut.  

(same chord sequence for other verses)  

There was a ragged band who followed in our footsteps  

Running before times took our dreams away  

Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tieus to the ground  

To a life consumed by slow decay  
Ab              Cm    Gm Ab  
The grass was greener  
Bb                 Cm  Eb Fm  
The light was brighter  
Ab              Cm   Gm  Ab  
When friends surrounded  
Bb               Cm   Eb Fm  
The nights of wonder  
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us  
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side  
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again  
Dragged by the force of some sleeping tide  
at a higher altitude with flag unfurled  
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world  
Marching drums bit  
(Nylon Strung guitar)  

 

   
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition  
Theres a hunger still unsatisfied  
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon  
Though down this road I've been so many times  
(same sequence as in first Chorus )  
The grass was greener  
The light was brighter  
The taste was sweeter  
The nights of wonder  
With friends surrounded  
The dawn mist glowing  
The water flowing  
The endless river  
Forever and ever...
