1.       Here it comes another lonely day, playing the game,

  Bm        F#m         Am                              Em

    I  sail away on a voyage of no return to see,

        Gm                              D   - Bm

    if eternal life is meant to be,

                Em                           Gm                 - A - - -

    and if I find the key, to the eternal dream.

 

    A                                          G           D

2.    The painted ladies of the Avalon, play in the sun,

     Bm             F#m            Am                                      Em

     take to the road, to the north there lies the chills of cold,

               Gm                                      D   Bm

    to the south there lies the tales untold, oh,

                    Em                                      Gm                

    but in between there lies the place to close your eyes…

3.    Say goodbye, the city's heroes sing, bird on the wing,

     Bm             F#m                    Am                             Em

    feel, feel so free, through the life upon the rooftop haze,

                 Gm                                 D     - Bm

    all the cheating and the broken days,

                        Em                                  Gm                

    so through it all I see, there's nothing left for me.

 

                  D - D7 - Bm - A - G               D                   Em

And I will st……………………ay, I'll not be back, Eldorado.

Gm               D - D7 - Bm - A - G                 D            Em      - Gm - A

      I will be fre……………………e, of the world, Eldorado.

4.     Sitting here on top of everywhere, what do I care,

      Bm           F#m                   Am                                    Em

    days never end, I know the voyage's end will soon be here,

             Gm                             D  Bm

    now eternal life is here for me, oh,

                      Em                           Gm                

    and now I found the key, to the eternal dream.
