[Verso 1]

Am                             G 
Imagine, the girls around town assemble 
                             Em 
The traveler's son they come askin' 
      Dm 
Where he came from 
                Am 
'Cause they've watched him 
                          G 
Washing his face near the pond 
                       Em 
A curious boy and they wonder 
Dm 
Where he came from 


[Verso 2]

         Am          G        G7                      
He says: (I, I have seen the world's 
                E7 
Most beautiful places 
      Dm                          Am 
Still I feel, as If I'm a walking machine 
                          G 
Watching it all through a screen 
                    E         Dm 
There is nothing in between to me 
                           Am 
This might as well not be real) 

Am        (Dm)  G            
Oh oh oh oh oh no hm hm hm 
 E        Dm 
Oh oh oh oh hm hm hm hm 
 

[Verso 3]

Am                                  G 
Imagine, the girls take him up on a hill 
                                   Em 
It's an Indigo night, there's a chill 
   Dm                        Am 
The boy is confused but he's still 
                       G 
As they gather around him 
                           E 
So many of them, they all sing 
          Dm 
About the pleasures of life 


[Verso 4]

    Am                   G                       
And he cries: "Why can't I sing along 
          E                Dm 
With some feeling, or some meaning? 
                               Am 
It feels like I've always been blind 
                                  G 
I don't know why you girls are so kind 
                         E 
For there are so many in line 
      Dm                      Am 
Whose lives aren't as lost as mine) 

Am         Dm  G            
Oh oh oh oh oh no hm hm hm 
E        Dm 
Oh oh oh oh hm hm hm hm 

Final 

Am                     G 
Now something happened there 
                                     E 
The smell of the grass, or maybe the air 
          Dm 
There was no more despair 
Am                        G 
Just something about that night 
                               E 
Maybe the girls, they lit some light 
Dm 
And made everything right 
       F 
'Cause he's never been 
E      Am 
More alive
