Led Zeppelin Kashmir Lyrics

(bonham/jones/page/plant)

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream

I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been

To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen

They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear

But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear

Oh, oh.

Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain’t no denyin’

I’ve been flying, ain’t no denyin’, no denyin’

All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground

And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land

Trying to find, trying to find where I’ve been.

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream

Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream

My shangri-la beneath the summer moon, I will return again

Sure as the dust that floats high and true, when movin’ through kashmir.

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years

With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear

Ohh.

When I’m on, when I’m on my way, yeah

When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I’m down...

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I’m down, so down

Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Let me take you there. let me take you there

intro riff 2x

[riff]
Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
Sit with elders of a gentle race, swirl but seldom seen
Talk of days for which they sit and wait, all will be revealed

[bridge]

[riff] 
Offer song from tongues of lilting grace, sounds caress my ear
Not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
Whoa  oh,  Whoa oh

[bridge - riff 1x - bridge]

[fill]     	
Oooo baby I've been flying
Oh yea, baby there ain't no denying
Oooo yea, I've been flying
Mama -  ain't no denying, no denying

[bridge]

[chorus]	
G5                 A5           G5             A5
All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this racy land
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been...

[riff]
O my love the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream     
Hear the band that led me to that place, yellow desert screams
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
As the dust that floats behind you, we're moving through kashmir

O' father of the four winds fill my sails, cross the sea of years
With no provisions but an open face, beyond the straits of fear
Whoa  oh o,  Whoa oh o

[bridge -riff 1x- bridge]                                                                                                                              

[chorus]	
When I want, when I'm on my way, yea                                       
When I feel, when I think my brain to stay                             
OOOH yea  OOOH yea when I'm down                                        
OOOH yea  OOOH yea when I'm down                                        
OH my baby, OH my baby let me take you there                        
Let me take you there....
