Persephone
by Wishbone Ash
from their album There's the Rub
The Intro and middle solos I copied from Rob Watsons tab on the
same site, just because they are perfect and I don't see why
should I try making them more sharp than they are.
Great song, enjoy.

Theres a light that shines on persephone,
Bm7 Am
Always a fire in her eyes,
Bm7 Am
And the last time that I went to her
Bm7 Am
I could tell things weren't right.
Em G Am Em G Am
I just dont care to see your years go wasting,
Em G Am Em D....
Theres no longer magic in your eyes.
Bm7 Am Bm7 Am
In your time, you could outshine everybody else around,
Bm7 Am
But your off-stage ways might be a bore -
Bm7 Am
You take a bow, you take a fall.

I came to be here in the footlights,
Bm7 Am
To live with you through every song,
Bm7 Am
And your face displays a peaceful field.
Bm7 Am
I cant believe the curtain has to fall.
Em G Am Em G Am
Now I know your years were never wasted,
Em G Am Em D....
Tonight I saw the magic in your eyes.
