Verse 
                 C                  Dm    F  E7 
Stop a while and say what's on your mind 
                                  Am 
And let your thoughts just ripple down 
         Em                 D7    E7  Am 
Upon the driftin', shiftin' sand 
               C              Dm   F  E7 
Let the flower blossom in the sun 
                            Am 
Don't stop it once it has begun 
           Em          D7 
Accept and try to understand 
G                                C 
Come and tell me what you really think 
             G/B           Am 
Sit down and have a little drink 
                              D 
I will not laugh at what you say 
   G      Am 
Today 

Verse 
               C            Dm    F  E7 
Never mind the raven on the tree 
                           Am 
He does not look at you or me 
                 Em            D7   E7  Am 
His thoughts are much too far away 
                C                    Dm    F  E7 
Maybe there are things you'd like to know 
                              Am 
And places that you'd like to go 
           Em               D7 
Perhaps confusion holds you down 
G                                         C 
Please don't think that I just want you impressed 
          G/B              Am 
I'm as confused as all the rest 
                              D 
Except for one thing that I appeal 
    G       Am 
I feel 

Verse 
              C                 Dm   F  E7 
In this paper world of here and now 
                          Am 
I feel I have to tell you how 
                 Em                 D7    E7  Am 
You're something slightly more than real 
                 C                Dm    F  E7 
There is nothing more you need to know 
                             Am 
I've told you what I want so you 
              Em            D7 
Can come with me or you can stay 
G                                  C 
You can choose the darkness or the light 
            G/B           Am 
It's just a question of a fight 
                            D 
Between the scarlet and the grey 
    G 
He say
