Electric Light Orchestra - Mission

                Bm
For many days we travelled from a distant place and time,
F#m
To reach a place they call the planet Earth,
G F#m
There was to be a celebration,
Bm A A G
On the mission of the sacred heart.

The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue
And floating softly through a rainbow,
But when you touch down things look different here,
At the mission of the sacred heart.

CHORUS
A G F#7
Watching all the days roll by
Bm Gm6
Who are you and who am I?

D D4 Gm6
e---2--3--2--0------0
h---3--3--------3----
g---2--2-----------3-

How's life on earth?

Eb7 D7
When all the stars above
Eb7 D7 A7
Rain icy fingers down on me


On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby,
In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow
And someone's singing from a window
In the mission of the sacred heart.

CHORUS -- repeat

There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land,
On a place they call the planet Earth,
My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by,
From the mission of the sacred heart.

CHORUS -- repeat

Eb7: xx6564x
D7 : xx5453x
