Tabbed by:PJVillanueva

G Bm Em Em7
I sat me down to write a simple story
C G Am7 Am6 Am D
which maybe in the end became a song
F Cadd9 C B-9 B7
In trying to find the words which might begin it
Em Emadd9 Em Am C6 Cmaj13 C6 C D
I found these were the thoughts I brought along
2
G Bm Em Em7
At first I took my weight to be an anchor
C G Am7 Am6 Am D
and gathered up my fears to guide me round
F Cadd9 C B-9 B7
but then I clearly saw my own delusion
Em Emsus4 Em Am C6 Cmaj13 C6 C D
and found my struggles further bogged me down
3
G Bm Em Em7
In starting out I thought to go exploring
C G Am7 Am6 Am D
and set my foot upon the nearest road
F Cadd9 C B-9 B7
In vain I looked to find the promised turning
Em Emsus4 Em Am C6 Cmaj13 C6 C D C G
but only saw how far I was from home
Middle eight
D D/C G C G C G
In searching I forsook the paths of learning
D D/C G C G C G
and sought instead to find some pirate's gold
D D/C G C G C G
In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me
C G AM D F Cadd9 C B-9 B7
and still no hidden truths could I unfold
Em Emsus4 Em Am D

G Bm Em Em7
I sat me down to write a simple story
C G Am7 Am6 Am D
which maybe in the end became a song
F Cadd9 C B-9 B7
The words have all been writ by one before me
Em Emsus4 Em Am D
We're taking turns in trying to pass them on
B7/F# Emsus4 Em Am C G
Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on
