Rush - Natural Science: chords

 Bm      A       C       D
When the ebbing tide retreats
 Bm        A      C   D
Along the rocky shoreline
    Bm        A       C     D
It leaves a trail of tidal pools
       Bm         A    C D
In a short-lived galaxy

      C#m         Em F#m
Each microcosmic planet
      C#m      G#m B
A complete society

Bm            Em
A simple kind mirror
       C            D
To reflect upon our own
        Bm            A
All the busy little creatures
        C               D
Chasing out their destinies

C#m
Living in their pools
             Bm             A
They soon forget about the sea...

Chorus:
  E                  D
Wheels within wheels in a spiral array
   E                    D
A pattern so grand and complex
 E                  D
Time after time we lose sight of the way
     E                     D      B
Our causes can't see their effects

F#
A quantum leap forward
In time and in space
    A
The universe learned to expand
C#
The mess and the magic

C#
Triumphant and tragic
   E
A mechanized world out of hand

F#
Computerized clinic
For superior cynics
     B
Who dance to a synthetic band
C#
In their own image

C#
Their world is fashioned
    F#
No wonder they don't understand

Chorus

D              A     G              E
Science, like nature, must also be tamed
D       A      D          A    B    E G
With a view towards its preservation
 D            G            E
Given the same state of integrity
D        A      D    A   B  G E
It will surely serve us well

Art as expression, not as market campaigns
Will still capture our imaginations
Given the same state of integrity
It will surely help us along

The most endangered species: the honest man
Will still survive annihilation
Forming a world, state of integrity
Sensitive, open and strong

Chorus:
 B          A          G            D
Wave after wave will flow with the tide
     B        A           G
And bury the world as it does
C#          G#         E        F#
Tide after tide will flow and recede
         C#        B         E F#
Leaving life to go on as it was
