[Verse]
                 C                  Dm    F  E7
Stop a while and say what's on your mind
                                  Am
And let your thoughts just ripple down
         Em                 D7    E7  Am
Upon the driftin', shiftin' sand
               C              Dm   F  E7
Let the flower blossom in the sun
                            Am
Don't stop it once it has begun
           Em          D7
Accept and try to understand
G                                C
Come and tell me what you really think
             G/B           Am
Sit down and have a little drink
                              D
I will not laugh at what you say
   G      Am
Today

[Verse]
               C            Dm    F  E7
Never mind the raven on the tree
                           Am
He does not look at you or me
                 Em            D7   E7  Am
His thoughts are much too far away
                C                    Dm    F  E7
Maybe there are things you'd like to know
                              Am
And places that you'd like to go
           Em               D7
Perhaps confusion holds you down
G                                         C
Please don't think that I just want you impressed
          G/B              Am
I'm as confused as all the rest
                              D
Except for one thing that I appeal
    G       Am
I feel

[Verse]
              C                 Dm   F  E7
In this paper world of here and now
                          Am
I feel I have to tell you how
                 Em                 D7    E7  Am
You're something slightly more than real
                 C                Dm    F  E7
There is nothing more you need to know
                             Am
I've told you what I want so you
              Em            D7
Can come with me or you can stay
G                                  C
You can choose the darkness or the light
            G/B           Am
It's just a question of a fight
                            D
Between the scarlet and the grey
    G
He say
