the moonlit wings re flect the stars that guide me toward salva- ion
B              F#7               G#m
  I stopped an old man along the way

Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo-  dies

  He turned to me as if to say  hurry boy it's waiting there for you
 
[Hook]

As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa -ny
B             F#7              G#m
  I know that I must do what's right
G#m                 A*            C#m7         G#m    A       G#m7 C#m7
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like O lympus above the Serenge-ti
B           F#7                 G#m7 G#m                A*                C#m7
