[Intro]
There once was a note pure and easy
Playing so free like a breath rippling by
The note is eternal, I hear it, it sees me
Forever we blend and forever we die
[Chorus]
I listened and I heard music in a word
And words when you played your guitar
The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering
And a child flew past me riding in a star
[Verse 1]
As people assemble, civilization
Is trying to find a new way to die
But killing is really merеly scene changer
All mеn are bored with other men's lives
[Chorus]
I listened and I heard music in a word
And words when you played your guitar
The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering
And a child flew past me riding in a star
[Verse 2]
Gas on the hillside, oil in the teacup
Watch all the chords of life lose their joy
Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness
The note that began all can also destroy
[Bridge]
We all know success when we all find our own dreams
And our love is enough to knock down any walls
And the future's been seen as men try to realize
The simple secret of the note in us all
In us all
[Chorus]
Listened and I heard music in a word
And words when you played your guitar
Noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering
And a child flew past me riding in a star
[Verse 3]
Today is the day the sound curdles mountains
Flowing and blowing each man in its wake
Destroying itself in the end with vibration
There's nothing on Earth its challenge can take
[Intro Reprise]
There once was a note, listen easy (Pure)
Once was a note, listen easy (Pure)
There once was a note, listen easy (Pure)
There once was a note, listen easy (Pure)
There once was a note, listen easy (Pure)
Once was a note, listen easy (Pure)
Once was a note, listen easy (Pure)
Once was a note, listen (Woah)
Once was a note, listen
There once was a note, listen
Once was a note, listen
[Outro]
Pure and easy
Pure and easy
Pure and easy
[Break]
We'd love to play a
Song we've been playing for quite some time
Familiar to you maybe
A song called "Young Man Blues"
Case you wanna know, the first two were
"Love Ain't For Keeping"
And uh, "Pure and Easy"
