The Shield
(Blackmore/Evans/Lord)
From "The Book Of Taliesyn", 1968

F#F#            F# minorF#m

Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream


F#F#        E/F#E/F#     F#F#

While the children play in the field

F#F#            F# minorF#m

Papa smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life


F#F#    E/F#E/F#     F#F#

But how strong is the shield?


F#F#            F# minorF#m

Can peace be found on the carpet above ground


F#F#      E/F#E/F#  F#F#

Where sky is forever blue



     F#F#    E MajorE    A augmentedA        D MajorD

So let it pass baby now, the slow and riding cloud


G+G           F#F#

Which may take me from you
