 E
Leave your cares behind come with us and find
     D                             E
The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind


    A                 C    C C B Bb A
   Come along if you care
    A                 C    C C B Bb A
   Come along if you dare
    A                 C    C C   B   Bb   B
   Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
						

Beyond the seas of thought beyone the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not

   Come along if you care...


 E
But please realise you'll probably be surprised
    C#m               A
For it's the land unknown to man
	   F#         E
Where fantasy is fact
   C#m                 A
So if you can, please understand
F#                  B
You might not come back


[ Guitar solo - slight variation on solo from intro ]


[ A    D D# E    B Bb ] x3

[ A    D D# E ]


   Come along if you care
   Come along if you dare
   Take a ride to the land inside and you'll see

How happy life could be if all of mankind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
	 D                               E
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Center of the mind


[ Guitar solo - another variation on intro solo for 10 bars, then ]
