| F#m E/G# | A B | F#m E/G# | D A | Bm7 A/C# D E | F#m E/G#
[Verse 1]
A B
I got two strong arms
C#m D
Blessings of Babylon
Bm G
Time to carry on
F#m
And try
E/G# A B
For sins and false alarms
C#m D D#m A#m
So to America the brave
Bm A/C# D
Wise men save
[Chorus]
E F#m E/G#
Near a tree by a river
A B
There's a hole in the ground
F#m E/G#
Where an old man of Aran
D A
Goes around and around
F#m E/G#
And his mind is a beacon
A B
In the veil of the night
F#m E/G#
For a strange kind of fashion
D A
There's a wrong and a right
Bm7 A/C# D E F#m E/G#
But he'll never, never fight over you
[Verse 2]
A B
I got plans for us
C#m D
Nights in the scullery
Bm G
And days instead of me
F#m E/G# A B
I only know what to discuss
C#m D D#m A#m
Oh for anything but light
Bm7 A/C# D E F#m E/G#
Wise men fighting over you
[Verse 3]
A B
It's not me you see
C#m D
Pieces of valentine
Bm G
With just a song of mine
F#m E/G# A B
To keep from burning history
C#m D D#m A#m
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Bm A/C# D
Wise men fold
[Chorus]
E F#m E/G#
Near a tree by a river
A B
There's a hole in the ground
F#m E/G#
Where an old man of Aran
D A
Goes around and around
F#m E/G#
And his mind is a beacon
A B
In the veil of the night
F#m E/G#
For a strange kind of fashion
D A
There's a wrong and a right
Bm7 A/C# D E G C
But he'll never, never fight over you
[Bridge]
F Bb A
I got time to kill
D/F#
Sly looks in corridors
G F
Without a plan of yours
Esus4 E Am G/B C
A blackbird sings on Bluebird Hill
D D/C Bb Eb
Thanks to the calling of the wild
Cm Bb/D Eb F
Wise mens' child
[Middle 8]
