Get our your guitars
I realize that Roy Harper is not to everyone's taste. I finally found the lyrics to one of my favorites. To be listened to with earphones in a darkened room.

"Roy Harper - Hallucinating Light
Transcription by Nigel Sutton (G.N.P.Sutton@ste0418.wins.icl.co.uk)
Clues for the persistant. (computers - don't you just love 'em)

Regs, Vaguely Mindwarp (found but not bound)

P.S. This is a great song. Does anyone have a transcription for another great ballad - Sandy Denny's "Who knows where the time goes?".


A song transcription.

Hallucinating Light
---------------------

Locked in mortal combat as the future shadows loom
D G D C/C C/B D
The guardian of my spirit fights his way across the room
G D C/C C/B D
To where the sick majority infest the myths of doom
G D C/C C/B D
But the lanterns of children hold firm in full bloom
G C D G

And we'll walk a long long way
D D D
Oh, together.
D G
Though we found ourselves that way
C G
Long before we knew.
D
Ah, but you know the way its worked I feel that
G D
when I laugh it with your soul.
C/C C/B D
And when I cry..........................Its you
C D G D C/C C/B D

I ride inside the purple dawn collecting golden due
That falls from citidels of dreams I shake whilst flying through
Creation's key seems just in reach, ah but then its overdue
But as darkness surrounds us I'm reaching for you.

Far across the universe the goblins of the night
Sometimes corner sunrise and keep it out of sight
And wandering the crossing minds, hallucinating light
Is the dream that I have of you holding me tight.


It's standard tuning. The C/C, C/B are to represent bass notes. I've "remembered this whilst at work so its best treated as a set of clues rather than any gospel truth. "
