Visions

        (4x)

People hand in hand

     Have I lived to see the milk and honey land?

                        #9         #9
     Where hate's a dream and love forever stands

     Or is this a vision in my mind?

The law was never passed
But somehow all men feel they're truly free at last
Have we really gone this far through space and time
Or is this a vision in my mind?

                      G#m7b5
    I'm not one who make believes

                         (maj7)
I know that leaves are green

They only turn to brown

When autumn comes around

               (same as A#m7b5)
I know just what I say

                   D#m7b5
Today's not yester-day

                         F#7b13
And all things have an en    -  ding

But what I'd like to know
Is could a place like this exist so beautiful
Or do we have to find our wings and fly away
To the vision in our mind?

[guitar solo over verse chord progression but ending with  to  played only once

I'm not one who make believes
I know that leaves are green
They only change to brown
When autumn comes around
I know just what I say
Today's not yesterday
And all things have an ending [hold F#7b13 and let decay for 2 measures]

But what I'd like to know
Is could a place like this exist so beautiful
Or do we have to take our wings and fly away
To the vision in our mind?

[vamp over ,  and fade]

* Transcription and performance notes: Firstly, let's turn towards Michigan and Motown
and acknowledge the genius of Stevie Wonder and his musicians. I'm surprised this amazing
piece hasn't been documented before...

The recording uses three guitar tracks - steel string, nylon string, electric. Until
someone does a tab version, you can replicate the sounds by listening where the two
different acoustic guitars strum or arpeggiate the chords and inversions of the chords. 
That process is actually the way recording was created. Artists like Stevie Wonder hire guitar
players who can create their own guitar parts from the raw chord symbols and add to the 
feel of the song. Tabs are great to get you to the "starting gate", but I encourage you 
to use these chords as your own starting point.

I'd also acknowledge the following website and the talented musician for providing the
foundation for this chord chart. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky8tbwN5thI
