The people were delighted
Coming forth to claim their prize
They ran to build their cities
And converse among the wise
But one day the streets fell silent
Yet they knew not what was wrong
The urge to build these fine things
Seemed not to be so strong
The wise men were consulted
And the Bridge of Death was crossed
In quest of Dionysus

In the darkness of the night
In the heart's eternal light
You need only trust your feelings
Only Love can steer you right
I bring Laughter, I bring Music
I bring Joy, and I bring Tears
I will soothe your primal fears
Throw off those chains of Reason
And your prison disappears
The cities were abandoned
And the forests echoed song
They danced and lived as brothers
They knew Love could not be wrong
Food and wine they had aplenty
And they slept beneath the stars
The people were contented
And the Gods watched from afar
But the winter fell upon them
And it caught them unprepared
Bringing wolves and cold starvation
And the hearts of men despaired... -->into next bar below:

Lost and aimless like their brothers
For their Hearts were so unclear
And the Truth could not appear
Their spirits were divided

Brought tales of old to light

To the heart of Cygnus' fearsome force
We set our course
Spiralled through that timeless space
To this immortal place

The keyboard has been arranged for guitar on the 2nd staff,
notes on A string are 8va bassa. The bass sound is likely
a Moog Taurus Pedal sound (sawtooth wave with a rapid closing
filter). The right hand melody sounds like a Mini-Moog
(a sawtooth wave with a somewhat rapid attack but with the
filter open relatively wide to achieve a string-like sound).
On the promo video Geddy plays both parts with the same
sound on a Mini-Moog. It is clear that the bass sound
on the promo-video deviates from the original studio
recording.

There is unrest in the forest; there is trouble with the trees.
For the Maples want more sunlight and the Oaks ignore their pleas.

Strum each chord [see chord legend above for fingering]:
A5(I) A5 A5 B5 B5 B5 G G D D A5(I) A5(I)
The trouble with the Maples (and they're quite convinced they're right);
A5(I) A5 B5 B5 B5 G D D A5(I) A5(I)
They say the Oaks are just too lofty and they grab up all the light.
A5(I) A5 B5 B5 G D D A5(I)
But the Oaks can't help their feelings if they like the way they're made.
F#5 (wallop) G5 (wallop)
And they wonder why the Maples can't be happy in their shade.
