[Verse]
E E7 A B
I saw the posters popping up around the city
A B E B
Pale blue and washed out red
E E7 A B
I went down to the arena pushing through
A B E B
Hoping I'd run into you
A B C#m F#
Sweet freshly scrubbed smell of the crowd
A B E B
All the excitement in their eyes
A Ab7 C#m F#
We were all made young when he stepped onto the stage
A B C#m F#
Like an animal escaping from his cage
[Chorus]
B E
Raise the trumpet
A
Sound the drum
E B E
He whom the prophets spoke of long ago has come
[Verse]
E E7 A B )
All of us too dazed to leave when it was over
A B E B
Dawdled by the vendors for a minute
E E7 A B
Gathered underneath a summer sky
A B E B
I was hoping you'd pass by
A B C#m F#
But though I didn't see you that day or the next
A B E B
I'm pretty sure that you were there
A Ab7 C#m F#
Making your way along the young and happy horde
A B C#m F#
Headed down to your reward
[Chorus]
B E
Raise the trumpet
A
Sound the drum
E B E
He whom the prophets spoke of long ago has come
