Verse:

D                        G       D
Now is the time for your loving, dear
        D              C    D
And the time for your company
D                        Dsus4 D
Now when the light of reason - fails
    C                 A
And fires burn on the sea
D                     G      D                  
Now in this age of confusion I
       D             C     D
I have need for your company

    D                 G      D
For I am a wild and a lonely child
        D         C     D
And the son of an angry land
    D                        Dsus4  D
And now with the high wars raging - I
 C                 A
Would offer you my hand
    D                      G        D
For we are the children of darkness and
    D         C       D
the prey of a foul command

   D                       G       D
It's once I was free to go roaming in
    D            C         D
The wind of the springtime mind
    D                        Dsus4 D
And once the clouds I sailed up - on
      C             A
Were sweet as lilac wine
     D                       G       D
Then why have the breezes of summer, dear
  D            C      D
Enlaced with a grim design?

    D                        G      D
And where was the will of my father when
   D          C        D
He raised his sword on high?
    D                        Dsus4  D
And where was my mother's wailing - when
    C               A
Our flags were justified?
    D                      G        D
And where will we take our pleasure when
    D           C      D 
Our bodies have been denied?

D                        Dsus4 D
Now when the light of reason - fails
    C                 A
And fires burn on the sea
