Capo 2
D D/C# D/B G
The sky was light and the land all dark
The petal sky and the rosy dawn
Run run run run said the automobile and we ran
Turn away from your animal kind
As if you were your own creation
We thought we ought to walk awhile
We reached the tree line and I dropped my pack
Pray for the forest pray to the trees
D D/C# D/B G
The sun rose up over Central Park
The world turning on the burning sun
Run for your life, take to your heels
Try to leave your body just to live in your mind
As if you were the chosen nation
So we left that town in a single file
Sat down on my haunches and I looked back down over the mountain
Pray for the fish in the deep blue sea
D D/C# D/B
I was walking home from work
Sacred wet green one that we live on
Foolish school of fish on wheels
Leave your cold cruel Mother Earth behind
And the world around you just a rude and dangerous invasion
Up and up and up mile after mile after mile
Helpless, speechless, breathless
Pray for yourself and for god's sake say one for me
A Asus2 A
Gaia
G Bm A
Someone's got to stop us now
C A G
Save us from us from the loss of Gaia
F D
No one's gonna stop us now
G
Poor wretched unbeliever
save us from

Capo 2
The petal sky and the rosy dawn 
Run run run run said the automobile and we ran 
Turn away from your animal kind 
As if you were your own creation 
We thought we ought to walk awhile 
We reached the tree line and I dropped my pack 
Pray for the forest pray to the trees 
The world turning on the burning sun 
Run for your life, take to your heels 
Try to leave your body just to live in your mind 
As if you were the chosen nation 
So we left that town in a single file 
Sat down on my haunches and I looked back down over the mountain 
Pray for the fish in the deep blue sea 
Sacred wet green one that we live on
Foolish school of fish on wheels 
Leave your cold cruel Mother Earth behind 
And the world around you just a rude and dangerous invasion 
Up and up and up mile after mile after mile 
Helpless, speechless, breathless 
Pray for yourself and for god's sake say one for me 
save us from
