Let me see what I can see.

Drop me off on a mountain top somewhere. 
D                C                G 
I'll point them down and say my prayers. 
D             C         G              
No one understands it, maybe they don't care. 
D           C                  G 
We're only here because it's there. 
    
        G 
Set me free, set me free.

I'll go where people don't go. 
D                C           G 
Where the iron horses don't roll. 
D               C            G 
High above the sea of grey below 
D              C                          G 
And the great mystery and the cold wind blows.
