Intro:

D  Dsus2 (x3),
F#m  G  Em, D/F#  Em, F#m  Asus4  A,
D  Dsus2 (x3), D

Verse 1:

D                        D7
 Saw a sign on the path;
Em                 D     Dsus2
 "All seekers this way".
D                         F#m
 A fairy sat and laughed;
Em                Bm
 Threw a petal my way.

Chorus 1:

F                Am
 As I neared the bridge,
                   G   C
Two soldiers stood and stared.
G                  D        Em    F#m
 "No one passes by us, up a-head;
Asus4   A              D
 You're welcome here."

Interlude:

D  Dsus2 (x3), D

Verse 2:

D                          D7
 Carried on down the road,
Em             D     Dsus2
 To the market-place.
D                  F#m
 I was still alone,
Em              Bm
 No one knew my face.

Chorus 2:

F                Am
 Then a stranger sang,
                G   C
With voice like the wind.
G                  D      Em    F#m
 Then the hails be-gan to sing;
Asus4  A    D    Dsus2, D
  "Wel-come in."

Bridge 1:

F#m   G     Em
 Time rolls on,
         D/F#            Em
Ain't no good to sit and moan.
F#m   G     Em
 Time rolls on,
    D/F#         Em
And so we travel on.

Chorus 3:

F              Am
 Never did I i-magine,
            G     C
What a dawn would be.
G                  D        Em    F#m
 'Till I opened my eyes, to see;
Asus4   A         D
 It was welcoming me.

Interlude:

Em  F#m, Asus4  A,
D  Dsus2 (x3), D

Verse 3:

D                      D7
 At the end of my days,
Em         D    Dsus2
 On my way home.
D                    F#m
 I paused a while to gaze,
Em               Bm
 Upon the sacred stone.

Chorus 4:

F                     Am
 There I stood in the middle,
            G  C
Of the holy do-main.
G                     D      Em   F#m
 Then the people came out to say;
Asus4     A       D     Dsus2, D
 "Welcome home, a-gain."

Coda:

F#m   G     Em
 Time rolls on,
    D/F#        Em
And so we carry on.
F#m   G     Em
 Time rolls on,
         D/F#            Em
Ain't no good to sit and moan.
F#m   G     Em
 Time rolls on,
    D/F#         Em
And so we travel on.
F#m   G     Em
 Time rolls on,
         D/F#          Em
Ain't no good to sit a-lone.

 (Time rolls on).
F#m    G     Em
 (Time rolls on,
         D/F#            Em
Ain't no good to sit and moan).
F#m    G     Em
 (Time rolls on).
