Intro:
Ebmaj7
Fmaj7
Esus
Verse 1:
Eb
Sometimes you feel so far away,
D
distanced from all the action of the play,
Eb
unable to grasp significance,
D
marking the plot with diffident dismay,
Ebmaj7
Fmaj7
Esus
stranded at centre stage,
G
Fmaj7
Gm
D
Dsus
scrabbling through your diary for a lost page:
Ebmaj7
Fmaj7
Esus
unsure of the dream.
Verse 2:
Eb
Kicking a stone across the beach,
D
aching for love and comfort out of reach;
Eb
the way ahead seems to be so bleak,
D
there's no-one with any friendship left to speak
Ebmaj7
Fmaj7
Esus
or show any relation
Gm
Fmaj7
Gm
D
Dsus
between your present and future situations...
Ebmaj7
Fmaj7
Esus
lost to the dream.

Away, away, away - look to the future day
Bb7
Bbdim
Adim
for hope, some form of peace
F#
G#7
A#
within the growing storm.
Chorus:
Ab
Gm
Ab
Gm
I climb through the evening, alive and believing
Ab
Fm
Bb7
Eb
Bb
in time we shall all know our goals and so, finally, home;
Ab
Gm
Ab
Gm
for now, all is secret - though how could I speak it,
Ab
Fm
Bb7
Eb
allow me the dream in my eye!
Bb
Ab
I've been waiting for such a long time
F#
G#
Bb
just to see it at last,
F#
G#
Bb
all of the hands tightly clasped,
F#
G#
all of us pilgrims.
Verse 3:
Eb
Walking in silence down the coast,
D
merely to journey, here hope is the most,
Eb
merely to know there is an end;
D
all of us, lovers, brothers, sisters, friends
Ebmaj7
Fmaj7
Esus
hand in hand....
Gm
Fmaj7
Gm
D
Dsus
Shining footprints on the wet sand
Ebmaj7
Fmaj7
Esus
lead to the dream.
Bridge 2:
Bb7

Adim
F#
G#7
A#
The time has come, the tide has almost run
Bb7
Bbdim
and drained the deep:
Adim
F#
G#7
A#
I rise from lifelong sleep.
Chorus 2:
Ab
Gm
Ab
It seems such a long time I've dreamed -
Gm
Ab
now, awake, I can see
Fm
Bb7
Eb
Bb
we are pilgrims and so must walk this road,
Ab
Gm
Ab
Gm
unknown in our purpose, alone, but not worthless,
Ab
Fm
Bb7
Eb
and home ever calling us on.
Bb
Ab
We've been waiting here for so long,
F#
G#
Bb
all of our hands joined in hope,
F#
G#
Bb
holding the weight on the rope -
F#
G#
all of us Pilgrims.
