Shine Over Babylon by Sheryl Crow Standard tuning Capo II D I walked the heat of seven hills Am Endless talk of losing wills Em Great highways in a constant melt G Men and women and children all have overbuilt D Buying bread and paying for none Am Creatures of a waning sun Em Teacher’s hands are overrun G Clowns and gypsies have all but gone G You make me wanna Am C G Shine over Babylon You make me wanna Am C G Shine over Babylon D Freedoms etched on Sacred pillars Am Hollow stones of mindless filler Em Can lead to madman oil drillers G Won’t be long before we all are killers D Little boy lost way up the mountains Am Cities drowning under boiling fountains Em I dreamed of chilly, sunlit days G I was trembling in a golden haze G You make me wanna Am C G Shine over Babylon You make me wanna Am C G Shine over Babylon D We celebrate the golden cow Am Praise the bloated bank account Em If there’s a god where is he now G The precipice is slipping further out D Sanskrit message from the mounts Am Leave your possession, hope abounds Em There’s nothing here for you to cry about G We’re all just followers from here on out D I take the stage, I walk the planks Am I sing these songs with little thanks Em I wait for shouts from crazy cranks G I stand amidst the brown shirt ranks D I found my way to Alexandria Am Where gurus bubble up on gangea Em Scavengers, they run up and hand ya G All the junk that should have damned ya G You make me wanna Am C G Shine over Babylon You make me wanna Am C G Shine over Babylon D Am Em G D If everything in life was free Am We'd float in your own reverie Em The things that yo can't seem to see G Seal the gap between you and me G You make me wanna Am C G Shine over Babylon You make me wanna Am C G Shine over Babylon www.TAB6.com
