Intro:
Am7/9 C9 G9 F C G Am7/9
Verse 1:
Am7/9 C9
When shadows fall he'll close his eyes
G9
To hear the clocks unwind,
F C G Am7/9
Powerless to leash the hands of time
Am7/9 C9 G9
Kindgoms fall the earth revolves the rain will come this spring,
F C G F
and nothing he could say would change a thing
F C G F
Seven wonders crowed the man
C G
Knowing six are gone
D G/B C9 A D
And how the great illusion lingers on
Verse 2:
Am7/9 C9 G9
He can't enfold the sun or moon or wind within his hands
F C G Am7/9
But count the times he'll shout the great I am
Am7/9 C9 G9
With all the while a pontiff smile, veiling his disgrace
F C G F
At never owning more than second place.
(Chorus)

All the grand illusion lingers

While the sad confusion lingers on
