Am7/9    C9    G9    F      C    G    Am7/9


Verse 1:
Am7/9                             C9
When shadows fall he'll close his eyes
              G9      
To hear the clocks unwind,
F              C        G        Am7/9
Powerless to leash the hands of time

Am7/9                 C9                         G9
Kindgoms fall the earth revolves the rain will come this spring,
       F              C           G         F
and nothing he could say would change a thing



Chorus:

F      C       G         F
Seven wonders crowed the man
         C      G
Knowing six are gone
    D       G/B     C9         A    D
And how the great illusion lingers on


Verse 2:

Am7/9                      C9                G9
He can't enfold the sun or moon or wind within his hands
     F                     C         G       Am7/9     
But count the times he'll shout the great I am
Am7/9                        C9              G9
With all the while a pontiff smile, veiling his disgrace
   F             C         G      F
At never owning more than second place.


(Chorus)

Chorus:

F      C       G         F
Seven wonders crowed the man
         C      G
Knowing six are gone
    D       G/B     C9         A   
And how the great illusion lingers 
    D    G/B     C9        A   
All the grand illusion lingers
D         G/B  C9        A      D
While the sad confusion lingers on
