Firth Of Fifth 
----- -- ----- 
 
B5 
The path is clear 
A5           E5 
Though no eyes can see 
B5   E5            F#5 F#5   B5  B5 
The course laid down long  be   fore. 
E5                F#5 (ugh!) 
And so with gods and men 
B5              C5 (ugh again!) 
The sheep remain inside their pen, 
        G5                  E5               Bb5
Though many times they've seen the way to leave. 
 
This is exactly the same as above. They're written both together, one 

verse under the next. 
 
 |  | : 

He rides majestic 

Past homes of men 

Who care not or gaze with joy, 

To see reflected there 

The trees, the sky, the lily fair, 

The scene of death is lying just below. 

: |  |  
    E5         A5             E5     A5 
The mountains cuts off the town from view, 
        Bb5     Eb5          Bb5   Eb5 
Like a cancer growth is removed by skill. 
       Eb5 F5   G5 
Let it be   re  vealed. 
Bb5          C5 
A waterfall, his madrigal. 
    E5             B5 
An inland sea, his symphony. 
 
Instrumental passage before Undinal: 
E5 B5 C#5 (ugh!) 
 
B5 
Undinal songs 
A5 6/9     E5 
Urge the sailors on 
B5    E5     A5   D5    C#5 F#5 
Till lured by sirens' cry. 
 
No music for these verses, they're listed only as lyrics. 
 
Now as the river dissolves in sea, 
So Neptune has claimed another soul. 
And so with gods and men 
The sheep remain inside their pen, 
Until the Shepherd leads his flock away. 
 
The sands of time were eroded by 
The river of constant change.
