[Verse]
Gas on the hillside, oil in the teacup
Watch all the chords of life lose their joy
Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness
The note that began all can also destroy.
   Am          C/A (Am7)    Dm/F                   G/A
We all know success when we all find our own dream
And our love is enough to knock down any wall
And the future's been seen as men try to realize
Am         Am7/A         Dm/F    G/A
The simple secret of the note in us all

[Instrumental]
Am     C      F    G

[Verse]
[Today is the day when sound curdles mountains
Flowing and blowing each man it its wake
Destroying itself in the end with vibration
There's nothing on earth its challenge can take
Excepting one note]

[Outro]
 There once was a note...  listen
