        G     C9 
I come down 
               G        Em 
from the misty mountain 
       D      C 
I got lost 
             G      C9 G 
on the human highway 
         G     C9 
Take my head 
             G        Em 
refreshing fountain 
         D      C 
Take my eyes 
              G      C9 G 
from what they've seen. 
         C 
Take my head 
           D      D4 D 
and change my mind 
 G 
How could people 
    C 
get so unkind.

Since that day
