Verse 1:
(Bb/C7 x4 )Gm/Eb/Bb/Eb x2 Did you think that your feet had been bound By what gravity brings to the ground? Did you feel you were tricked By the future you picked? Well, come on down
All those rules don’t apply When you’re high in the sky So, come on down Come on down
Chorus:
(F/C/F/C/Bb/C/F/C x2) We’re coming down to the ground There’s no better place to go We’ve got snow up on the mountains We’ve got rivers down below
We’re coming down to the ground We hear the birds sing in the trees And the land will be looked after We send the seeds out in the breeze
Verse 2:
(Bb/C7 x4 Gm/Eb/Bb/Eb x2) Did you think you’d escaped from routine By changing the script and the scene? Despite all you made of it You’re always afraid Of the change
You’ve got a lot on your chest Well, you can come as my guest So come on down Come on down
Chorus:
(F/C/F/C/Bb/C/F/C x2) We’re coming down to the ground There’s no better place to go We’ve got snow up on the mountains We’ve got rivers down below
We’re coming down to the ground We hear the birds sing in the trees And the land will be looked after We send the seeds out in the breeze
Bridge:
(Bb/C x4) Like the fish in the ocean We felt at home in the sea We learned to live off the good land Learned to climb up a tree Then we got up on two legs But we wanted to fly When we messed up our homeland We set sail for the sky
Chorus:
((F/C/F/C/Bb/C/F/C x2)) We’re coming down to the ground There’s no better place to go We’ve got snow up on the mountains We’ve got rivers down below
We’re coming down to the ground We hear the birds sing in the trees And the land will be looked after We send the seeds out in the breeze

2. To keep in silence I resigned. My friends would think I was a nut Turning water into wine. Open doors would soon be shut So I went from day to day. Tho' my life was in a rut 'Til I thought of what I'd say. Which connection I should cut I was feeling part of the scenery. I walked right out of the machinery. My heart going boom boom boom.
