PRISM FACE
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
INTRO: Am7/E - Am6 - Am7 - Dadd9 - D9
Am - Dadd9 - D9
Am
I. have you seen the prism light -
every angle another hue,
Dadd9
one for every point of you?
Am
hemispheres of day and night,
Atlas overseeing
Dadd9
a world of different meanings?
Am/E
like a great art,
every day starts
Dadd9
with a new interpretation.
Am/E
like an ancient
sacred doctrine:
Dadd9
every man a new religion.
Am
and could I have a prism face,
crystal hologram in space?
Dadd9
you might love me if you saw me...
Am7/E Am6 Am7 Dadd9 D9
if you saw me.
INSTRUMENTAL: Am - Dadd9 (repeats until second verse)
Am
II. the face that launched a thousand ships
and sent them on a thousand trips -
Dadd9
how could anybody leave her?
Am
on muddy shores, the puddle clouds
the shifting shallow life of shrouds.
Dadd9
but all is deep to a believer.
Am/E
like a great art,
every day starts
Dadd9
with a new interpretation.
Am/E
like an ancient
sacred doctrine:
Dadd9
every man a new religion.
Am
and could I have a prism face,
crystal hologram in space?
Dadd9
you might love me if you saw me.
Am
you'd answer me before I ask
what's the meaning of the mask?
Dadd9
but will you ever really know me?
INSTRUMENTAL: Am - Dadd9 (repetition, with ad lib guitar)
