intro : F G
F G C
and the sun makes no difference at all
F G F
we work all night without it
G Am (G F)
Con-ed gives us heat and cool air pretty well
F G Am
and inspiration filters down the heavy skyway
G (Am G F)
losing all its prophecy
F G C
and the moon has no mysteries at all
F G
we declare our love by streetlight
F G Am (G F)
one night rooms and drugstores work out pretty well
F G Am
and the full moon fills the hospitals and precinct houses
G (F G)
or so the modern legends go
C Am G
sailing to the new world (3x)
F G
by the light of a friendly voice
F G
through the heavens in the bodies
Am G (F G)
of the thousand millions here
C Am G
sailing to the new world
C Am G
we are sailing to the new world
C Am G
sailing to the new world
F G
by the light of a friendly voice
F G
through the heavens in the bodies
Am G (Am G)
of the thousand millions here
and the stars are not visible at all
the north star points to boston
but its easier to follow signs to 95
and the universe is hid away like all our other fears
but we don't need to look that far
TWO TIMES:
C Am G
sailing to the new world (3x)
F G
by the light of a friendly voice
F G
through the heavens in the bodies
Am G (F G)
of the thousand millions here
