[Verse 1]
Mama plays a queen on the [Em]hill built on a dream
While the children play in [E]the field
Papa smokes the pipe of
[Em]a sweet and better life

[Interlude 1]
But how strong is the shield?
[Em][E][Em][E]
Can peace be found [Em]on the carpet

[Verse 2]
above ground
Where sky is [E]forever blue?
[Em]So let it

[Verse 3]
pass baby [D]now,
[G]the slow and riding [C]cloud
[F]Which may take [G]me [Em]from
[E]you

[Interlude 2]
[E][Em]
[E][Em]

[Verse 4]
Many [E]things a man can lose
His [Em]self, his rights, his views
But never his heart or his love
[E]So take this hand of mine
[Em]and climb baby, climb
To the hill up above
[E]

[Verse 5]
[Em]
[E]Now you can play a q[Em]ueen on
the hill built on a dream
While our children [E]play in
[Em]the field[E][Em]
I can smoke the [D]pipe of
[G]a sweet and better [C]life
And [F]trust in the strength [G]of the shield

[Verse 6]
So [E]trust in your [Em]love, and Lucy up above
And let light pass like [E]a wheel
Don't take the chance of
[Em]life's hectic dance
Kiss the strength of the shield
[E]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
[E]The seeker will be [Em]found by
the looker on the ground
And to his wish he will yield

[Verse 8]
Fate will [Em]have it's word, of [D]course
The [G]time will change it's course
[C]And hol[F]d the strength of [G]the shield
