A man lost in time

near Ka De (F)We.

Just (G7)walk ing the dead.

Walk dead.

Where are we now?

The mo ment you know, you know, you know.

(Fmaj7)Sit ting in the Dschun gel Twen ty thou sand peo ple

As long as there’s rain.

As long as there’s rain.

As long as there’s fire.

As long as there’s fire.

As long as there’s me.

As long as there’s you.

As long as there’s fire.
