Biography:
Richard Christopher Wakeman (born 18 May 1949 in Perivale, London) is an English keyboard player best known as the keyboardist for progressive rock group Yes. Originally a classically trained pianist, he was a pioneer in the use of electronic keyboards and in the use of a rock band in combination with orchestra and choir. He purchased his first electronic keyboard, a Minimoog, from the actor Jack Wild. Wakeman was able to buy it for half the regular selling price because Wild thought it did not work as it only played one note at a time.

[Verse 1]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Memories of a life on earth go flashing past,
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Of home of Grauben, friends of whom he's seen his last
D#maj7 G#maj7 D#maj7
Contemplating what his life's been worth,
G#maj7 D#maj7
While trapped beneath the earth,
G#maj7 Gsus4
An embryo at birth

Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Pain and fear destroy the beauty I have seen,
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Of caverns, where no other man has ever been
D#maj7 G#maj7 D#maj7
Silurian epoch hosts me as my grave,
G#maj7 D#maj7
My final blow I wave,
G#maj7 Gsus4
A life too late to save

Forming magic chandeliers, lighting blistered galleries.
