Simple, lovely, silly, fun. That's how I'd describe this song.
Hit a Bm7 instead of Bm sometimes, in fact I do it most of the time.
Standard tuning.
Chords: A: x02220; Bm: x24432; G: 320003; D: xx0343;; Dsus2: xx0340
INTRO
A - Bm - G - D (Dsus2)
VERSE 1
A Bm
One thing I was sleeping,
G D (Dsus2) D
Then I was taken high,
A Bm
Through the veil of darkness
G D (Dsus2) D
That had stretched across the sky.
A Bm
Though I could see nothing,
G D (Dsus2) D
I heard a voice say this.....
BRIDGE

CHORUS
A Bm
Beautiful unusual sight
G D (Dsus2) D
Heliopolis by night.
A Bm
Bathed in gold and shimmering light,
G D(Dsus2)D
Heliopolis ... by night.
--> Straight into VERSE 2, same chords as verse 1:
They sent me for the first time
To the place they call their home.
Words could not describe to you
The things that i was shown.
And though i was so far away,
Not one thing did i miss,
Safe among my friends in golden
Heliopolis
rpt CHORUS
VERSE 3:
And the reason why they took me is
Something i never learned.
My body lay there sleeping when I
Finally returned.
And the lover who I left behind
Awoke me with a kiss,
And asked where i had been I answered
"Heliopolis."
End on G, but only the lower notes.
