Verse 1:

Em G

At my house I've got no shackles

Am C

You can come and look if you want to

Em G

In the halls you'll see the mantles

Am C

Where the light shines dim all around you

Am D

And the streets are paved with gold and if

Am D Em

Someone asks you, you can call my name

[repeat intro pattern 2X]

Verse 2:

You are just a thought that someone

Somewhere somehow feels you should be here

And it's so for real to touch

To smell, to feel, to know where you are here

And the streets are paved with gold and if

Someone asks you, you can call my name

You can call my name

Em C Am D

I hear you calling my name yeah all right now

Solo:

[repeat intro]

Verse 3:

By the time that I'm through singing

The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing

More confusions, blood transfusions

The news today will be the movies for tomorrow

And the water's turned to blood, and if

You don't think so

Go turn on your tub

And it it's mixed with mud

You'll see it turn to gray

And you can call my name

I hear you call my name

Coda:

[drum break]

[multiple overdubbed guitar solos over Em; original release cuts off

abruptly, reissues fade out]
