Intro
Verse
There once was a note, pure and easy
Playing so free like a breath, rippling by
Fmaj7 Dm6[or Dm/F]
The note is eternal, I hear it, it sees me,
Forever we blend as, forever we die

Verse
As people assemble, civilization
Is trying to find a new way to die
Am Emsus4 E
But killing is really merely scene changer
All men are bored with other men's lives

Verse
Gas on the hillside, oil in the teacup
Watch all the chords of life lose their joy
Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness
The note that began all can also destroy.
Am C/A (Am7) Dm/F G/A
We all know success when we all find our own dream
And our love is enough to knock down any wall
And the future's been seen as men try to realize
The simple secret of the note in us all
Instrumental

Verse
[Today is the day when sound curdles mountains
Flowing and blowing each man it its wake
Destroying itself in the end with vibration
There's nothing on earth its challenge can take
Excepting one note]
