      E           F#7
"To seek the sacred river Alph
    E                F#7
To walk the caves of ice
     B           A
To break my fast on honeydew
      B                A
And drink the milk of Paradise"

E             G   A             G  E  B  A G A
I had heard the whispered tales of immortality
     E  B    A  G A
The deepest mystery
E          G     A          G   E
From an ancient book I took a clue
I scaled the frozen mountain
tops of eastern lands unknown
Time and Man alone
E               G  A      G E
Searching for the lost Xanadu

E G  D
Xanadu

     D       A#       C       G
To stand within the Pleasure Dome
Decreed by Kubla Khan
To taste anew the fruits of life
The last immortal man
To find the sacred river Alph
To walk the caves of ice
Oh, I will dine on honeydew
      D        A#      C G D  A#6 C
And drink the milk of Paradise
G        D  A#6 C G
Oh, paradise!

A thousand years have come
and gone but time has passed me by
Stars stopped in the sky
Frozen in an everlasting view
Waiting for the world to end, weary of the night
Praying for the light
Prison of the lost
Xanadu

Xanadu

Held within the Pleasure Dome
Decreed by Kubla Khan
To taste my bitter triumph
As a mad immortal man
Nevermore shall I return
Escape these caves of ice
For I have dined on honeydew
And drunk the milk of Paradise
Woah, is it paradise?
