Six  o'clock...  in the morning, I feel  pretty good,
 So I dropped in - to  the luxury  of the Lords...
...Fighting  dragons, and crossing  swords...  with the people,
 A - gainst  the hordes who came  to conquer!  |  / / /  / |
 Seven  o'clock...  in the morning, here  it comes, I taste  the warning,
 And I am so  amazed I'm here  today, seeing  things so clear  this way,
 In the car, and on  my way to Stonehenge!
 |  / / /  / |  / /  / / |  / / /  / |
 I'm flying  in Win - chester  Cath - edral,
Sunlight pouring through the break of day,Dsus2
Dsus2
Stumbled through the door, and into the cham-----ber!
 There's a lady  setting flowers on a table  covered lace,
 And a cleaner  in the distance finds a cobweb  on a face,
 And a feeling,  deep inside of me,
 Tells me this  can't be... the place!  |  / / /  / |
 I'm flying  in Win - chester  Cath - edral,
 All re - ligion  has to have  it's day,
Ex - pressions on the face of the sav----iour,
G/D
Made me say-----, 'I can't stay----!'
 Open  up the gates of the church, and let me out  of here,
 Too many people  have lied in the name of Christ for anyone  to heed the call,
 So many people  have died in the name of Christ, that I can't  believe it all!
 And now I'm standing  on the grave of a soldier who died in 1799,
 And the day  he died it was a birthday, and I noticed  it was mine,
 And my head  didn't know just who I was, and I went spinning  back in time!
And I am high upon the alter, high---- upon the alter,

 I'm flying  in Win - chester  Cath - edral,
 It's hard e - nough  to drink  the wine,
The air inside just hangs in delusion, Dsus2
G/D
But given time-----, I'll be fine----!
 Open  up the gates of the church, and let me out  of here,

[Am]Six o'clock..[Asus2].    in the morning, I f[G]eel pretty good,
[Dsus2]      So I dropped in - [Dm7]to the luxury[G/D] of the Lords...
[Dm7]...Fighting dragons, and cr[G/D]ossing swords..[Dm7].   with the people,
A - g[G/D]ainst the hordes who c[Am]ame to conquer! [Asus2]       |[D/A] /  /  [D]/  / |

Se[Am]ven o'clock...[Asus2]     in the morning, h[G]ere it comes, I [Dsus2]taste the warning,
And I am [Dm7]so amazed I'm [G/D]here today, s[Dm7]eeing things so c[G/D]lear this way,
[Dm7]    In the car, and [G/D]on my way to Sto[Dm7]nehenge!  [Asus2]

    Stumbled through the door, and into the cham-----ber!

There's a [Dm7]lady setting flowers on a [G/D]table covered lace,
And a cl[Dm7]eaner in the distance finds a c[G/D]obweb on a face,
And a fe[Dm7]eling, deep inside of me,
Tells me [G/D]this can't be... the p[Am]lace! [Asus2]       |[D/A] /  /  [D]/  / |

O[Am]pen up the gates of the church, and let me o[G]ut of here,
Too many pe[Am]ople have lied in the name of Christ for an[G]yone to heed the call,

And now I'm st[Dm7]anding on the grave of a soldier who died in [G/D]1799,
And the [Dm7]day he died it was a birthday, and I no[G/D]ticed it was mine,
And my [Dm7]head didn't know just who I was, and I went sp[G/D]inning back in time!

And I am h[Am]igh upon the al[G]ter, high-[Am]--- upon the al[G]ter,
