In the Wilderness Genesis From Genesis to Revelations 1967

This is a clever little song written by early Genesis, probably Banks and Philips.

If you follow the album track with a metronome, you'll notice the tempo change.

Good song for piano and/or guitar.

Verse Key of F tempo=98

Chorus Key of D tempo=106

Intro: [1&2&3&4&][/ / / /] 2x's finger picking. 2nd time A7=A

Leaving all the world to play they disappear

And the leaves have gathered dust to run like deer

Tearing pieces from our lives to feed the dawn

Mist surrounds the seagulls christened by the storm

[A /A7 /][C / / /][C1&a2&a]< building, tempo change - faster

Music, all I hear is music - guaranteed to please

And I look for something else

Rain drops pouring down the rooftops Flowing in the drains

As the people run their lives As their lives are run by time[1 2 3 4]

transition^tempo-slower

Fighting enemies with weapons made to kill

Death is easy as a substitute for pride

Victors join together, happy in their bed

Leaving cold outside the children of the dead

(chorus)

Music, all I hear is music - guaranteed to please

And I look for something else

Rain drops pouring down the rooftops

Flowing in the drains

As the people run their lives

As their lives are run by time D C

Same as intro, but then like coming out of verse into the chorus

repeat chorus 2x's

after 2nd chorus D C F C D...end

The album ends with a fade on the third chorus. This ending should work well.
