E E7 C A


[Verse]
E         E7              A             B  
I saw the posters popping up around the city
A    B                   E    B
Pale blue and washed out red
E      E7          A                B 
I went down to the arena pushing through
A    B          E        B
     Hoping I'd run into you

A                B                   C#m    F#
Sweet freshly scrubbed smell of the crowd
A          B                 E    B
All the excitement in their eyes
A            Ab7           C#m                     F#
We were all made young when he stepped onto the stage
A       B        C#m              F#
Like an animal escaping from his cage


[Chorus]
B         E
Raise the trumpet
           A
Sound the drum
            E                 B                E
He whom the prophets spoke of long ago has come


[Verse]
E       E7             A                   B )
All of us too dazed to leave when it was over
A              B              E      B
Dawdled by the vendors for a minute
E   E7                    A      B 
    Gathered underneath a summer sky
A  B      E                 B
    I was hoping you'd pass by


A            B                   C#m        F#
But though I didn't see you that day or the next
A          B                  E    B
I'm pretty sure that you were there
A           Ab7           C#m             F#
Making your way along the young and happy horde
A    B      C#m          F#
     Headed down to your reward


[Chorus]
B         E
Raise the trumpet
           A
Sound the drum
            E                 B                E
He whom the prophets spoke of long ago has come
