Pink Floyd - Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun (Barrett)
Am G Am G Am
Little by little the night turns around,
G Am G Am
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
Dm C Dm C Dm
Lotus's lean on each other in yearning,
Am G Am
Over the hills a swallow is resting
G Am F Am F Am
G Am G Am G Am G Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
Am G Am G Am
Over the mountains watching the watcher,
G Am G Am
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine
Dm C Dm C Dm
Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow,
Am G Am
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine
G Am F Am F Am
G Am G Am G Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun,
Am
The heart of the sun, The heart of the sun...
Am G Am G Am
Witness the man who waves at the wall,
G Am G Am
Making the shape of his questions to heaven
Dm C Dm C Dm
Whether the sun will fall in the evening,
Am G Am
Will he remember the lesson of giving?
G Am F Am F Am
G Am G Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun,
Am
The heart of the sun, The heart of the sun...
