Verse 1: (Bm)High tide, (F#m/B)mid-afternoon
(Em7)People fly by (F#7[#5 b9])in the (Bm)traffic's boom.
Knowing just where you're (F#m/B) blowing
(Em7)Getting to where (F#7[#5 b9] you should be (Bm) going.
Verse 2: Don't let them get you down,
Making you feel guilty about
Golden rain will bring you riches,
All the good things you deserve now.
Solo 1
Verse 3: Climbing, forever trying,
Find your way out of the wild, wild wood.
Now there's no justice,
You've only yourself that you can trust in.
Verse 4: And I said, high tide mid-afternoon,
Woah, people fly by in the traffic's boom.
Knowing just where you're blowing,
Getting to where you should be going.
Solo 2
Verse 5: Day by day, your world fades away,
Waiting to feel all the dreams that say
Golden rain will bring you riches,
All the good things you deserve now and I say,
Verse 6: Climbing, forever trying
You're gonna find you're way out of the (Bm) wild, wild wood.
Said you're gonna (Em7) find you're way out (F#7[#5 b9])
Of the (Bm) wild, wild wood.
(Keep strumming Bm for the coda).

| I think it just refers to the fact that everyone has issues and problems to deal with daily, if we could get out of these we would live a simpler life. | |

| I think Paul is writing about the loss of individualism in a more and more intricately connected world. The protagonist is trying to breakout of this mold and return to a simpler existence. | |
