Simple, lovely, silly, fun. That's how I'd describe this song.
Hit a Bm7 instead of Bm sometimes, in fact I do it most of the time.
Standard tuning.

Then I was taken high,
AThrough the veil of darBmkness

That had stretched across the sky.

I heard a voice say this.....

CHORUS
ABeautiful unBmusual sight
          G   D(Dsus2)          D  
Heliopolis by night.
ABathed in gold and shiBmmmering light,
            G  D(Dsus2)D  
Heliopolis ... by night.
--> Straight into VERSE 2, same chords as verse 1:
They sent me for the first time 
To the place they call their home.
Words could not describe to you
The things that i was shown.
And though i was so far away,
Not one thing did i miss,
Safe among my friends in golden
Heliopolis
VERSE 3:
And the reason why they took me is
Something i never learned.
My body lay there sleeping when I 
Finally returned.
And the lover who I left behind 
Awoke me with a kiss,
And asked where i had been I answered 
"Heliopolis."
End on G, but only the lower notes.
