Intro:

A minorAm Dm/A 4x

A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7

DmDm       F7sus4F7sus4      DmDm       G minorGm Gm7/FGm7/F EbMaj7
Fifty thousand men were sent to do the will of one.
DmDm              F7sus4F7sus4      DmDm         GbMaj7
His claim was phrased quite simply, though he never voiced it loud,
 Fm7Fm7 EbM7Ebm7   DbDb GbGb Bb/FBb/F
I am he, the chosen one.

  DmDm         F7sus4F7sus4     DmDm         G minorGm Gm7/FGm7/F EbMaj7
In his name they could slaughter, for his name they could die.
DmDm            F7sus4F7sus4       DmDm        GbMaj7
Though many there were believed in him, still more were sure he lied,
  Fm7Fm7   EbM7Ebm7   DbDb GbGb Bb/FBb/F
But they'll fight the battle on.

        C majorC       Bb/FBb/F
Then one whose faith had died
         C majorC       Bb/FBb/F
Fled back up the mountainside,
        C majorC       Bb/FBb/F
But before the top was made,
      Am7Am7        Gm7Gm7
A augmentedA misplaced footfall made him stray
     G minorGm   F7F7      DbMaj7
From the path prepared for him.
      F minorFm    Bbm6Bbm6
Off of the mountain,
    DbdimDbdim     FF
On to a wilderness of ice.

   DmDm     F7sus4F7sus4      DmDm          G minorGm  Gm7/FGm7/F EbMaj7
This unexpected vision made them stand and shake with fear,
  DmDm       F7sus4F7sus4        DmDm          GbMaj7
But nothing was his fright compared with those who saw him appear.
  Fm7Fm7 EbM7Ebm7     DbDb  GbGb  Bb/FBb/F
Terror filled their minds with awe.

        C majorC       Bb/FBb/F
Simple were the folk who lived
     C majorC      Bb/FBb/F
Upon this frozen wave.
         C majorC         Bb/FBb/F
So not surprising was their thought,
      Am7Am7        Gm7Gm7
This is he, gods chosen one,
   G minorGm   F7F7      DbMaj7
Who's come to save us from
     F minorFm    Bbm6Bbm6
All our oppressors.
      DbdimDbdim     AbMaj7 Fm7Fm7 AbMaj7 Fm7Fm7
We shall be kings on this world.

AbAb     Fm7Fm7
Follow me!
DbDb
I'll play the game you want me,
Gb7Gb7           AbAb  Fm7Fm7 AbAb Fm7Fm7
Until I find a way back home.

AbAb     Fm7Fm7
Follow me!
DbDb
I give you strength inside you,
Gb7Gb7
Courage to win your battles

B/Eb Db/Eb Cm/F Cm/F B/Eb Db/Eb Cm/F
No,  no,  no, this can't go  on,
Cm/F B/Eb Db/Eb Cm/F Cm/F     C minorCm
This will be  all that I fled from.
    C minorCm     G+G
Let me rest for a while.

G+G Em6Em6 GMaj7 Em6Em6 GMaj7 A7/GA7/G GMaj7 C#m7b5C#m7b5

         DmDm
He walked into a valley,
   C majorC
All alone.
     Cm7Cm7     BbmBbm    Ebadd9Ebadd9    FF
There he talked with water, and then with the vine.

A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7

A minorAm  DmDm         F7sus4F7sus4     DmDm     G minorGm  Gm7/FGm7/F EbMaj7
They travelled cross the plateau of ice, up to its edge.
DmDm         F7sus4F7sus4       DmDm      GbMaj7
Then they crossed a mountain range and saw the final plain.
   Fm7Fm7 EbM7Ebm7   DbDb GbGb Bb/FBb/F
Still he urged the people on.

      C majorC       Bb/FBb/F
Then, on a distant slope,
        C majorC       Bb/FBb/F
He observed one without hope
         C majorC       Bb/FBb/F
Flee back up the mountainside.
         Am7Am7        Gm7Gm7
He thought he recognised him by his walk,
  G minorGm   F7F7      DbMaj7
And by the way he fell,
      F minorFm    Bbm6Bbm6
And by the way he
       DbdimDbdim     FF
Stood up, and vanished into air.
