[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
South of [Am]the Sahara, aching [F]heart
Is that where you'd [C]guess all
astronomy [Em]starts?
[G]We could have more
[Am]knowledge than we [F]dream
In Heaven and [C]Earth,
nothing's less than it seem[Em]s
[G]This could be the circle

[Verse 2]
[G]
[Am]of the stone[F]s
The turn of [C]the card or
the rolling [Em]of bones
[G]This could be the ley [Am]line on the [F]land
The past and the fu[C]ture that
cross in our [Em]hands
[G]This could close the circle
[Am]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Double star that hides itself
White [G]dwarf behind [C]the Sun - oh, Sirius
[F]The[C] th[Am]ings we can't explain
Re[G]main[C]
Mys[F]terious

[Interlude 1]

[E]

[Verse 4]
South of the Saha[Am]ra, Timbuktu
[F]The back of beyond[C] and
the shock of the [Em]new
[G]This could be [Am]the strangest thing of [F]all
The body of sci[C]ence with
its back to the [Em]wall
[G]South of the Saha[Am]ra
Distant [A]men of

[Verse 5]
[F#m]logic try to [D]trace
The shape of [A]the
Bortex, the pattern of [C#m]space
The same as [E]that [F#m]of
atoms in the [D]mind
Wherever we [A]look,
it's ourselves that we [C#m]find
The [E]sand of the Sahara
[F#m]

[Verse 6]
[F#m]Double star that hides itself
White [E]dwarf behind the [Am]Sun -[A] oh,
[E]Sirius[D][A]
[F#m]The things we can't explain
Re[E]main[A]
Mysteri[D]ous

[Interlude 2]
[D][A][B]
[C#]

[Verse 7]
The people of the [F#m]Dogon always [D]knew
[A]The extraterrestrials' heavenly
[C#m]view
[E]Stars that dog our [F#m]passage, holy Sun[D]s
Over the cen[A]turies,
these have be[C#m]come
The legend [E]of the [F#m]Dogon

[Verse 8]
[A]How do you ex[Am]plain it?
How do [D]you begin [C]to explain it [F]all?

[Verse 9]
We could be the [Am]ley line on the [F]land
Invisible [C]shifts in
[Em]the hourglass's sand
[G]We could have [Am]more knowledge
than we [F]dream
In Heaven and [C]Earth,
nothing's all that it seem[Em]s
[G]We could be [Am]eternal

[Verse 10]
[Am]We c[E]ould[G][Am]
[G][Am][G]
[Am][G][Am][G]
[Am][G][F][D]
[F#m]do it [D]all[A][C#m]
[E]
[F#m]We could do it all
We could [D]do [A]it all[C#m][E]
[F#m][D][A][C#m]
[E]
[F#m]We could do it all
