AmAmGAm
I lived my life in the words of a Storyman,
AmAmGAm
Watched my dreams from the years gone by,
CGAm
Heard my voice in the songs of a Storyman,
DEmDEm
Always by my side, always by my side;
AmAmGAm
I saw him first in a castle by candlelight,
AmAmGAm
Turning round with a golden key,
CGAm
I heard a train far away, and a whistle blow,
DEmDEm
Like a baby's cry, 'twas like a baby's cry;
AmAmGAm
Ravens stood on the walls of Jerusalem,
AmAmGAm
Sailors danced at the borderline,
CGAm
Light a fire on the road to the ferryman,
DEmDEm
Emotions running high, in the summertime;
--> Chorus
CG
Take me back to the places I've never been,
CGC
Take me back to another time,
CGC
Take me back to a world I have never seen,
DEmDEm
Only in my mind, only in my mind;
AmAmGAm
Late last night I met up with a lady-love,
AmAmGAm
Dressed in red, didn't say goodbye,
CGAm
Carry me to the last time I showed her what
DEmDEm
Tender hands can do, and I'll be missing you;
Chorus -->
C
Follow the light that's shining on to where we will be going,
G
Up to Heaven, Paradise, or to the heart divine;
C
It's in the echoes of a child, waiting for the journey,
G
The spirit of one world;
Oh
Chorus -->
AmAmGAm
I lived my life in the words of a Storyman......
