The Shield
(Blackmore/Evans/Lord)
From "The Book Of Taliesyn", 1968

F#                        F#m

Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream



F#                E/F#         F#

While the children play in the field



F#                        F#m

Papa smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life



F#       E/F#         F#

But how strong is the shield?



F#                        F#m

Can peace be found on the carpet above ground



F#           E/F#    F#

Where sky is forever blue




          F#        E        A               D

So let it pass baby now, the slow and riding cloud



G                      F#

Which may take me from you
