NOTES:
Chords ought to be played as barré chords.

At the end of chorus lines 1 and 2, there is a small figure 
played on keyboard and what sounds like some sort of chinese percussion. 
To emulate this you could play the figure below.

VERSE:
A
I grew up not looking down
                D
The shadow of a mountain fell upon my town
                  A        A7           D
A blueness in the distance living in my memory

A
Now I climb the creaking stair
                D
And walk upon a vanishing floor to get nowhere,
              A    A7              D7
A little Mussolini screaming in my mind


CHORUS:
                           [Chorus Figure]
History will tell you lies
                           [Chorus Figure]
History will tell you lies
     C                              G
Your dream is buried by the dust of ages


VERSE:
Time to sing a travel song
For all the days that come and go as we move on
Erotic song of heatwave burning in my memory

Travel low, the hills and plains
See the hidden valleys fall, grass aflame
Mother tongue it digs away your secret few


CHORUS:
History will disappear
History will disappear
Your dream is buried by the dust of ages


BRIDGE:
                     D
It's quite a load to carry
E                       A
Everything that we have done
               D                          E      A
Searching my horizon for a glimpse of the Millenium


[Interlude]


VERSE:
Hasn't been so very long
We haven't even half begun to peter out
A version of the future living in my mind


Leaving it all behind

It hasn't all been done


CHORUS:
History will tell you lies
And who fall shall cry
Your dream is buried by the dust of ages


OUTRO:
D                         G
On the Young Mountain all four winds flow
D                            G
From the Young Mountain wild rivers flow
History will disappear
D                       G
On the Young Mountain a path unwinds
D                         G
On the Young Mountain who falls shall climb
Climb the Young Mountain

D                                   G
Cross the first river, swim the new sea

On the Young Mountain all four winds will blow
Leaving it all behind
From the Young Mountain wild rivers flow
History will tell you lies

On the Young Mountain who falls shall climb
On the Young Mountain all four winds will blow
From the Young Mountain wild rivers flow


[play out on D and G]
