fingerpicked acoustic
Gmaj7 Amaj7

The minstrels play
While the sirens sing
Climb aboard an eagle's wing
Don't you worry
There's nothing else to bring
On our trip
To the outer rings

G Fadd9 Bbmaj7 Cmaj7

III

electric instumental intro

[Fmaj9#11]Rainbows [Em7]laugh
[Cmaj7]As the waterfalls [Fmaj7]roar
[G7sus4]Strawberry [G7]flavored rain

Maintain your balance
For what's in store
Turn the knob
To the Astral Door

electric Astral Door (instrumental)
G Eb/G Bb/G C/G F/G G

V

fingerpicked acoustic 3/4
(not really sure what Tom's notation implies here, has "G Bb D G D B" off to the side. Has "G" next to line #1, Bb next to line #2 and then just writes "etc.". I assume this is the melody line: Above line #1 has G above a 1/2 note F# above a 1/4 note E above 1/2 D above 1/4 B above 1/2 C above 1/4 D above dotted 1/2. Above line #2 has F Eb D.)

Words are spoken through the mind
Flowers dance by the oceanside
Clouds change colors so suddenly
The mermaids swim
In the golden sea
An angel's harp in the distance heard
Plays its song with the paradise bird
A pod of whales in the deep gold sea
Adds its song to the symphony

[D]The journey ends,[Em] [A7]the show is [D]done
etc.
Enjoyed your visit, and had your fun
Comeback tomorrow, we're always stocked
And the Astral Door
Is never locked
Never locked
