Intro (verse): B5 A5 F#5 G5 A5 F#5 B5


B5
Theres an old town wrought

With mystery of Tom
A5
The poet and his muse
F#5
And the magic lake
G5
Which gave a life
A5 F#5 B5
To the words the poet used


B5
Now the muse she was his happiness
A5
And he rhymed about her grace
F#5 G5
And told her stories of treasures
A5 F#5 B5
Deep beneath the blackened waves


B5
Till in the stillness of one dawn
A5
Still in its mystic crown
F#5 G5
The muse she went down to the lake
A5 F#5 B5
And in the waves she drowned

Chorus:

E5 A5
And now to see your love set free
B5 E5
You will need the witches cabin key
F#5
Find the lady of the light gone mad with the night
G5 F#5 B5
Thats how you reshape destiny


B5
The Poet came down to the lake
A5
To call out to his dear
F#5 G5
When there was no answer
A5 F#5 B5
He was overcome with fear


B5
He searched in vain for his treasure lost
A5
And too soon the night would fall
F#5 G5
And only his own echo
A5 F#5 B5
Would wail back at his call


B5
And when he swore to bring back his love
A5
By the stories he'd create
F#5 G5
Nightmares shifted endlessly
A5 F#5 B5
In the darkness of the lake

Chorus:

E5 A5
And now to see your love set free
B5 E5
You will need the witches cabin key
F#5
Find the lady of the light gone mad with the night
G5 F#5 B5
Thats how you reshape destiny


B5
In the dead of night she came to him
A5
with darkness in her eyes
F#5 G5
Wearing a mourning gown
A5 F#5 B5
Sweet words as her disguise


B5
He took her in without a word
A5
For he saw his grave mistake
F#5 G5
And vowed them both to silence
A5 F#5 B5
Deep beneath the lake


B5
Now if its real or just a dream
A5
One mystery remains
F#5
For it is said
G5
On moonless nights
A5 F#5 B5
they may still haunt this place
