         A5          B5     C#5          D5
I've got two strong arms, blessings of Babylon
     B5      G5            F#5     E5        A5       B5
with time to carry on and try for sins and false alarms
C#5    D5          D#5
So to America the brave
B5   A5   D5
wise men save
E5      F#5       E5          A5           B5 
Near a tree by a river is a hole in the ground,
         F#5        E5             D5          A5
where an old man of ?arran? goes around and around
        F#5       E5             A5           B5
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night,
      F#5             E5                 D5           A5
for a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right
         B5    A5    D5     E5    F#5 E5
But I'll never ever fight over you 
         A5         B5   C#5           D5
I've got plans for us, nights in the scullery
    B5     G5              F#5  E5         A5     B5 
and days instead of me, I only know what to discuss,
C#5     D5            D#5 
oh, for anything but light
B5   A5   D5        E5    F#5
wise men fighting over you
E5        A5      B5
It's not me you see,
C#5        D5            D#5 
seasons of gasoline and gold
B5   A5   D5
wise men fold
E5      F#5       E5          A5           B5
Near a tree by a river is a hole in the ground,
         F#5        E5             D5          A5
where an old man of aron[?] goes around and around
        F#5       E5             A5           B5
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night,
      F#5             E5                 D5           A5
for a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right
         B5    A5    D5     E5    G5
But I'll never ever fight over you 
C5        F5       Bb5    A5            D5             G5
I've got time to kill, sly looks in corridors without a 
F5
plan of yours,
  E5      E5        A5  G5   C5
a blackbird sings on Bluebirdhill
D5                             Bb5 D#5
thanks for the calling of the wild 
C5   Bb5    D#5    F5
wise men's child

Near a tree by a river is a hole in the ground,
