The Beatles – Across The Universe (Album: No One’s Gonna Change Our World (1969))
(see intro Riff at end of song)
D Bm F#m
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
Em7 A A7
They slither while the pass the slip away across the universe
D Bm F#m
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind
Em7 Gm D Em7
Possessing and caressing me. J’a Guru Deva – Om
A7 G/D D
Nothing’s gonna change my world, Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world, Nothing’s gonna change my world
D Dmaj7 F#m
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million
Em7 A A7
Eyes they call me on and on across the universe
D Dmaj7 F#m
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox
Em7 A A7
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
D Em7
J’a Guru Deva – Om.
[ Chorus ]
D Dmaj7 F#m
Sounds of laughter shades of mirth are ringing thru my opened eyes
Em7 Gm
Inciting and inviting me
D Dmaj7 F#m Em7
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
A A7
And calls me on and on, across the Universe
D
Ja Guru Deva. Ja Guru Deva. Ja Guru Deva. Ja Guru Deva.
