The Caves of Altamira Lyrics

I recall when I was small
How I spent my days a lone
The busy world was not for me
So I went and found my own
F#4sus4/c#
I would climb the garden wall
f#/b E/A c#/f#
With a candle in my hand
I'd hide inside a hall of rock and sand
On the stone an ancient hand
In a faded yellow-green
Made alive a worldly wonder
Often told but never seen
F#7sus4/c#
Now and ever bound to labor
f#/b E/A c#/f#
On the sea and in the sky
Every man and beast appeared
A friend as real as I
Be fore the fall when they wrote it on the wall
When there wasn't even Hollywood
They heard the call and they wrote it on the wall
For you and me
bb4 a g# f# e e f# c# b3 c#4 f#3

trumpet:
a4 b c#5 e f# a b........ e5 c# b3 a b c#5 a
Can it be this sad design
Could be the very same
A wooly man without a face
And a beast without a name
F#7sus4/c#
Nothin' here but history
f#/b E/A c#/f#
Can you see what has been done
Memory rush over me
Now I step into the sun
Be fore the fall when they wrote it on the wall
When there wasn't even Hollywood
They heard the call and they wrote it on the wall
For you and me
bb4 a g# f# e e f# c# b3 c#4 f#3
