Strum
D-DU-UDU
Its a man with a big smile and hes singing a tune
(Chorus)
My name is Godas and I play for free, all I ask you friends is to believe in me
There is much thats mystery
Come gather round me people now, gather round me people now
Gather round me people now, gather round me people now
Gather round me people now, gather round me people
Gather round me people, gather round me people now
Gonna open up your eyes, so you can see
(spoken)
But the bandits say
Hold on Godas, what you gonna show us? Could be the last thing youll ever do.
Hold on Godas what you gonna show us?
Think (?) its sad its gonna bury you ooh ooh ooh ooh
You dont scare me at all, says Godas with a grin
Now if you just follow me down to the water we can all begin
You men dont look that er very smart to me
So I presume youve never ever seen a dancing tree?
Now theyre all gathered round the tree down by the pool
Some of the bandits theyre calling Godas a fool
But he just takes out his silver flute and begins to play
Sure enough that tall tree starts to sway
(Chorus)
My name is Godas and I play for free, all I ask you friends is to believe in me
There is much that is a mystery
Come gather round me people now, gather round me people now
Gather round me people now, gather round me people now
Gather round me people now, gather round me people
Gather round me people, gather round me people now
Gonna open up your eyes, so you can see
(but the bandits say)
Hold on Godas sure want you to know this
We really like the way you play and sing
But hold on Godas the rest of it is pocus
We know you do it with invisible strings hmm mm mm
(instrumental break)
Godas turns away and says Ive done the best I could.
But the bandits they come forward theyre looking for his blood
You can imagine their extreme surprise
When Godas vanishes before their very eyes
If youre ever wandering out in the desert all alone
Come across seven figures made out of stone
Want you to listen very closely to the wind
Could be youll hear our old friend sing
(Final chorus)
My name is Godas and I play for free, all I ask you friends is to believe in me
There is much that is a mystery, so why go causing others misery?
Why cant you learn to live in harmony?
Now gather round me people now, gather round me people now
Gather round me people now, gather round me people, gather round me people
Gather round me people now, gather round me people now,
Gather round me people now
Gonna open up your eyes...
(flute break & )
Gonna open up your eyes so you... can... see......
(flute to fade)
