When the night is a curtain
of velvet blue (D-G)
And a falling star splits
the sky in two (A-D)
Orion smiles and Ezekiel
knew (D-G-Em)
That a chariot would carry
him home (A-D)
Let the wheels in the sky go ‘round and ‘round
Let the sun and the moon go up and down
Let the singing stars be my glory crown
And the chariot’s gonna carry me home
2.
On all the stars like grains of sand
On every world where life
began
Where such a tiny thing as
man
Dreams of chariots to carry
him home (chorus)
3.
Satellites fall, we need more room
Men make more and walk on
the moon
If there’s anybody up
there, hear my tune
And send a chariot to carry
me home (chorus)
Some trust in legends of
old (D-A)
Some trust in coins of gold
(A7-D)
Some try to save their
souls (D-G-Em)
Some trust in chariots
(Em-A)
4.
Some search for the glory throne (A-D)
In a universe unknown
(D-A)
I trust we’re not alone
(G-G/F#-A)
I trust in chariots
(chorus) (A7-D)
5.
Preachers and professors watching from below
Looking for answers
they’ll never know
Why the fools will stay
when the dreamers go
On the chariots that carry
them home (chorus)
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin’ for to carry me
home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin’ for to carry me
home
