[C#m] guide me towards [G#m] salva [A] tion [G#m] [C#m] 
[B] I stopped an [D#m] old man along the [G#m] way
Hoping [G#m/F#] to find some [A] old forgotten [C#m] words 
or ancient [G#m] melo [A] dies [A]   [G#m] [C#m]

As sure as [G#m/F#] Kilimanjaro [A] rises like
[C#m] lympus above the [G#m] Serenge [A] ti  [A]  [G#m]  [C#m]  
[B] I seek to [D#m] cure what's deep in [G#m] side...
[G#m/F#] Frightened of this [A] thing that I've become [A] [G#m]  [C#m]
