Corrections from: the-concourse-on-high {Play the "D" chord like this: xx0235 And play around with it, like descending on that high E string (frets->5,3,2) through one line of verse.} Intro : D D A thumbnail sketch, a jeweler's stone A mean idea to call my own Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young There's time to teach, point to point Point observation, children carry reservations G Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold, leaves me cold. F# A D A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly D Singer sing me a given, singer sing me a song Standing on the shoulders of giants everybody's looking on (Old don't lay so still you're not yet young) G Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold F# A B A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away E B E --> D away... awaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyieeeeeee D I am king of all I see, my kingdom for a voice Old man don't lay so still, you're not yet young There's time to teach, point to point Point observation, children carry reservations G Standing on the shoulders of giants, leaves me cold F# A D A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away. D Everybody hit the ground. Everybody hit the ground.
