Rush - Tai Shan: chords

G#m
High on the sacred mountain
F#
Up the seven thousand stairs
G#m
In the golden light of autumn
F#
There was magic in the air
E
The clouds surrounded the summit
F#
The wind blew strong and cold
E
Among the silent temples
F#
And the writings carved in gold

F#
Somewhere in my instincts
B
The primitive took hold

Chorus:
B                          F#
I stood at the top of the mountain
C#m               F#
And China sang to me
B                       F#
In the peaceful haze of harvest time
E
A song of eternity

If you raise your hands to heaven
You will live a hundred years
I stood there like a mystic
Lost in the atmosphere
The clouds were suddenly parted
For a moment I could see
The patterns of the landscape
Reaching to the eastern sea

I looked upon a presence
Spanning forty centuries

Chorus:
I stood at the top of the mountain
And China sang to me
In the peaceful haze of harvest time
A song of eternity

I thought of time and distance
The hardships of history
I heard the hope and the hunger
When China sang to me...
When China sang to me
