E7 A7 D7 G
Ancient walls of flowers tumbling down
E7 A7 D7 G
Black cat petals and a smiling clown
E7 A7 D7 G
I like to keep them in a jar beside
E7 A7 D7 G
Just enough to mess my mind inside
But I never heard
E7 A7 D7 G
You callin' from the sun
Did you ever care
E7 A7 D7 G
To shoot your silver gun
No I never heard
E7 A7 D7 G
You callin' from the moon
Did you ever care
E7 A7 D7 G
To sing your free love tune
E7 A7 D7 G
Ancient walls of wispers falling low
E7 A D7 G
Murmur simmer and I'm feeling slow
E7 A7 D7 G
Keep me up but keep me in my head
E7 A7 D7 G
I'll ping a pound of posies 'til I'm dead
E7 A7 D7 G
Ancient walls of flowers tumblin' down
E7 A7 D7 G
Ancient walls of flowers tumblin' down
E7 A7 D7 G
Ancient walls of whispers tumblin' down
E7 A7 D7 G
Ancient walls are tumblin' all over this town
