Alexander The Medium
Jefferson Airplane
Lead guitar solos in G minor pentatonic. When the time does come near again When the day does seem clear again Make it in the night time The dream ends in the light time All of you come away Just a bow shot away Let me tell you ’bout a story now A tale of glory and power And I don’t even know your name But I thought I’d tell you all about it just the same We are all creatures of fame lightness and liberty In the days of the olden times Of ancient ladies and maritime splendor Priests of Karnak and Thebes Could walk through the oceans and the seas And when the pyramid she would sigh The waters streamed from the sky The ocean you know she is your friend Your brother your sister just as sure as sin Put your hands in the water Rest your feet on the sea You don’t have to let your body die oh no no no You can come back again if you try if you try if you try This song was made then by you and me A billion years before these oceans rolled Oh I can see you burning brightly You shine like silver like sun gold And a hundred years from today All you people will be gone away Down into the heart of the sea Back to the time of wonder why you and me And I don’t even know your name But I thought I’d tell you all about it just the same If you laugh real hard you win the game - hands down Before old Alexander ’twas just the same as now Can you smell the blood of fame lightness and liberty?
