  Am (x02210@1)     Am (x02210@1)        G (320003@1)        AmI (x02210@1)lived my life in the words of a Storyman,
Am (x02210@1)       Am (x02210@1)            G (320003@1)        AmWatched (x02210@1)my dreams from the years gone by,
         C (x32010@1)          G (320003@1)        AmHeard (x02210@1)my voice in the songs of a Storyman,
D (xx0232@1)           Em (022000@1) D (xx0232@1)          EmAlways (022000@1)by my side, always by my side;

  Am (x02210@1)    Am (x02210@1)       G (320003@1)       AmI (x02210@1)saw him first in a castle by candlelight,
Am (x02210@1)    Am (x02210@1)         G (320003@1)    AmTurning (x02210@1)round with a golden key,
          C (x32010@1)       G (320003@1)         AmI (x02210@1)heard a train far away, and a whistle blow,
D (xx0232@1)           Em (022000@1)  D (xx0232@1)                EmLike (022000@1)a baby's cry, 'twas like a baby's cry;

  Am (x02210@1) Am (x02210@1)         G (320003@1)      AmRavens (x02210@1)stood on the walls of Jerusalem,
Am (x02210@1)    Am (x02210@1)          G (320003@1)   AmSailors (x02210@1)danced at the borderline,
        C (x32010@1)         G (320003@1)         AmLight (x02210@1)a fire on the road to the ferryman,
D (xx0232@1)              Em (022000@1)  D (xx0232@1)          EmEmotions (022000@1)running high, in the summertime;

--> Chorus
C (x32010@1)                 GTake (320003@1)me back to the places I've never been,
C (x32010@1)             G (320003@1)     CTake (x32010@1)me back to another time,
C (x32010@1)               G (320003@1)                CTake (x32010@1)me back to a world I have never seen,
D (xx0232@1)        Em (022000@1)  D (xx0232@1)        EmOnly (022000@1)in my mind, only in my mind;

     Am (x02210@1) Am (x02210@1)        G (320003@1)       AmLate (x02210@1)last night I met up with a lady-love,
Am (x02210@1)       Am (x02210@1)        G (320003@1) AmDressed (x02210@1)in red, didn't say goodbye,
      C (x32010@1)       G (320003@1)         AmCarry (x02210@1)me to the last time I showed her what
D (xx0232@1)              Em (022000@1)    D (xx0232@1)             EmTender (022000@1)hands can do, and I'll be missing you;
Chorus -->

CFollow (x32010@1)the light that's shining on to where we will be going,
GUp (320003@1)to Heaven, Paradise, or to the heart divine;
CIt's (x32010@1)in the echoes of a child, waiting for the journey,
GThe (320003@1)spirit of one world;


Oh
Chorus -->

  Am (x02210@1)     Am (x02210@1)        G (320003@1)        AmI (x02210@1)lived my life in the words of a Storyman......
