INTRO: F  Am  G (x8) 

verse 1 
 
Am                          F 
The day begins riding a rainbow 
                      G    
In her hand to find a way 
                            Am 
The night again nothing has changed 
                            F 
And all around people are waking 
                        G 
Of them all has gone to rest 
                               Am 
He passed the test leaving the stage 

 
F         Am          F                     Am  
Time goes sailing on, slowly the crowd will appear 
               D        G           D               G 
And into their ears the song they'd love to sing forever 
  Bb            F                    C 
Tomorrows come, tonight lives on for years 

verse 2 
 
Am                                F 
The time has come, follow the spotlight 
                           G  
Lighting the scene another world 
                            Am 
The flags unfurled into the sky 
                           F 
And in the air music is playing 
                           G 
Ingots of gold fall to the ground 
                        Am 
Creating sound into the night 

 
F         Am          F                  Am  
Time goes sailing on, into the light disappears 
                 D         G           D               G 
And still in the ears, the song they'd love to sing forever 
  Bb            F                    C 
Tomorrows come, tonight lives on for years 
 
BRIDGE: 

        Bb                              Am 
Under a setting sun, spiriting shadows away 
          Bb                                     D 
Wonderous people run, watch as the band start to play 


    D 
The song they'd love to sing forever 
    D                               
The song they'd love to sing forever, forever 


D G
