[Verse 1]
Em G
At my house I've got no shackles
Am C
You can come and look if you want to
Em G
In the halls you'll see the mantles
Am C
Where the light shines dim all around you
Am D
And the streets are paved with gold and if
Am D Em
Someone asks you, you can call my name
[Intro riff] x2
[Verse 2]
You are just a thought that someone
Somewhere somehow feels you should be here
And it's so for real to touch
To smell, to feel, to know where you are here
And the streets are paved with gold and if
Someone asks you, you can call my name
You can call my name
Em C Am D
I hear you calling my name yeah all right now
[Solo]

[Intro riff]
[Verse 3]
By the time that I'm through singing
The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing
More confusions, blood transfusions
The news today will be the movies for tomorrow
And the water's turned to blood, and if
You don't think so
Go turn on your tub
And it it's mixed with mud
You'll see it turn to gray
And you can call my name
I hear you call my name
[Coda]
[drum break]
[multiple overdubbed guitar solos over Em; original release cuts off
abruptly, reissues fade out]
