[Intro]
| A  | D  A  G5 | 4x
 
 
[Verse 1]
           A      D   A  G5
See dark shadows
        A     D   A  G5
On the walls
         D       G   D
See the pictures
                 D    G   D
Some hang, some fall
                 A     D   A  G5
And the painted faces
          A     D   A  G5
All in a line
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                 E
And the painted ladies
                   D    G   D
Yeah, the painted ladies
 
 
[Chorus]
                      A    F#m
Through the mists of time
              E
The mists of time
                   A     F#m
All the restless cries
                      D    G   D
Through the mists of time
               D    G   D
On a mountain high
                      A     D   A  G5  A   D  A  G5
Through the mists of time
 
 
[Verse 2]
           A     D   A  G5
Hear the whisper
             A     D   A  G5
Of the whirlwind
          A     D   A  G5
Monster shadows,
              A     D   A  G5
A light gone dim
      D    G   D
Dark horses
             D    G   D
Roam in my sleep
        A     D   A  G5
Mystic voices
                 A     D   A  G5
Conjure up our dreams
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                 E
And the painted ladies
                   D    G   D
Yeah, the painted ladies
 
 
[Chorus]
                      A    F#m
Through the mists of time
              E
The mists of time
                   A     F#m
All the restless cries
                      D    G   D
Through the mists of time
               D    G   D
On a mountain high
                      A     D   A  G5
Through the mists of time

[Bridge]
                 A     D   A  G5
And the painted faces
              A     D   A  G5
Looking so divine
 
 
[Chorus]
                      A    F#m
Through the mists of time
              E
The mists of time
                   A     F#m
All the restless cries
                      E
Through the mists of time
               A     D   A  G5
On a mountain high
A                 D   A  G5
 Searchin' for a sign
                      A     D   A  G5
Through the mists of time
              A         D   A  G5  A
The mists of time, time
