1st Verse: (2 Guitars)

A Dm

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when

A F

Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend

C A

Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes

Dm

I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

A Dm

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home

I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed

I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here

We must have died alone, a long, long time ago
