2:nd guitar chords
 D       Dsus4   Dsus4   Dsus4       Em      C       Em

Below: pick separate notes, strum chords in between for these first two
 lines. Even though they play a F# above, in this part I think they have
 the Em all the way.

The poet and the wise man stand behind the gun, behind the gun
and signal for the crack of dawn. Light the sun. Light the sun.

The Dawn Creation of the Kings has begun, has begun.        -3------2----- 
Soft Venus (lonely maiden) brings the ageless one, the ageless one. 

 

  (The rest as above)
Do you believe in the day?
Do you? Believe in the day?

The fading hero has returned to the night, to the night -
and fully pregnant with the day, wise men endorse the poet's sight.

Do you believe in the day?
Do you? Believe in the day!
