[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][G][C][D][C][D]
[G]

[Verse 1]
High on the sacred [D]mountain
Up the seven thousand stairs
[G]In the golden light of autumn
[D]There was magic in the air[C]

[Verse 2]
Clouds surrounded [D]the summit
The wind blew strong and cold
[C]Among the silent temples
[D]And the writing carved
[A]in gold[D][A]
Some[D]where [A]in my in[D]stinct[A]s[G]
The primitive took hold
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[G]
I stood at the top of [Asus4]the
[D]moun[Am]tain
And China sang to [D]me[G]
In the peaceful haze of har
[D]vest [Em]time[Am]
A song of eternity
[C]

[Verse 4]
[G]If you raise your hands
to [D]heaven
[Dsus4]You will live a hundred years[D][G]
I stood there like a [D]mystic
Lost [Dsus4]in the atmosp[C]here

[Verse 5]
The clouds [C]were suddenly [D]parted
For a moment I could [C]see
The patterns of the [D]landscape
Reaching to the eastern [A]sea
I looked upon a [G]presence
Spanning [D]forty [Dsus4]centur ie[G]s

[Interlude 1]
[G][D]
[Em][D][Am][D][G]

[Verse 6]
[D]I[Em][Am][C][Gsus4][C][D][A][D]
[A]tho[D]ught of tim[A]e and distan[D]ce
[A]The[G] hardships of history
I heard the hope and [D]the hunger
[Em][Am][C]

[Outro 1]
When China sang to me
[G][D][Dsus4][G][D]
[Dsus4][D][C][D][C]
[D][G][D][Dsus4][G]
