Pink Floyd - Let There Be More Light (Waters)
GFar, far, far, far away, way
People heard him say, say
"I will find a way, way
There will come a day, day
Something will be done"
CmThen at last the mighty ship desFmcending on a point of flame
Made Cmcontact with the Dmhuman race at AMildenhaAbll
GNow, now, now is the time, time
Time to be, be, be aware
CmCarter's father saw it there and Fmknew the Rhull revealed to him
The Cmliving soul of DmHereward the AWakAbe
GOh my, something in my eye, eye
Something in the sky, sky
Waiting there for me
The Cmouter lock rolled slowly back
The Fmservicemen were heard to sigh
For Cmthere revealed in Dmflowing robes Awas Lucy in the skAby
GOh, oh, did you ever?
No, no, never will they
I'll say!
CmSummoning his cosmic powers
And Fmglowing slightly from his toes
His Cmpsychic emaDmnations AfloweAbd.
