G                  D/G               C/G           G 
Journey on through ages gone, to the centre of the earth 

D/F# Em                  B7/E                Em     D      Em 
Past rocks of quartz and granite, which gave mother nature birth 

G                D/G              C/G             G 
Burial ground of ancient man, his life no more is seen 

D/F# Em               B7/E            Em     D          G 
A journey through his time unknown, I wonder where he's been 

        Bm         Am           Bm         C            D          G 
(Wonder where he's been, wonder where he's been, wonder where he's been) 

G                  D/G                 C/G           G    D/F# 
The shore now gone behind the hills, a forest in our sight 

Em                B7/E                  Em       D        Em 
Rocks and distant mountains, batherd in waves of blinding light 

G            D/G               C/G            G 
Forests from far gone time, no living man has seen 

  C       C#dim G/D   B7/Eb      Em        D C 
A private prehistoric world, for you and I a dream 

(C G/B Am Em D/F# Em D C G/B Am G) 

G            D                   C                  G   D/F# 
Brownish hue dictates my eye, no colour hides their fear, 

Em             B7                 Em          D    Em 
Flowers faded, dull and cold, now bleached by atmosphere 

G                  D                 C                    G   D/F# 
Creatures twisting under trees, huge monsters soaked with rage 

Em          B7                Em           D      Em 
Hidden deep below our eath, a frightening, bygone age 

      G                  D               C             G 
Their shepherd came, now long extinct, a huge primeval man 

    C         C#dim       G/D  B7/Eb      Em            D   C 
The three men filled with disbelief, just turned as one and ran 

(C G/B Am Em D/F# Em D C G/B Am G)
