Verse:
    D5
Here I stand at the banks where the river of time feeds the sea
  Bb5
Oh, I delve into the vault
    F/A   C5
Of my mind, a memory
    D5
When a heart full of trust had not yet waned to a weak
    Bb5
Paling crescent in the sky
     F/A       C
Pouring down its fading beam

Pre-Chorus:
G5         A5
I stand here all alone
          Bb5
I came here on my own
            Bb5
To reginite the inner blaze


Chorus:
G5     A5         E5
Against the wind, against the grain
   C5   D5   G5
Open visor - arrows rain
  A5        E5  C5 D5
I'm me and I do it my way
G5     A5       E5
Don't you tell me what to be
      C5    D5   G5
Through my eyes you cannot see
  C5        D5
I'm me and I'm going my way
E5      C5       D5
Against the wind I'm going my way


Verse 2:
     D5
I've been out for the grail they contest with hubris and hate
      Bb5
I've seen scarily faceless things
      F/A        C5
Where they scream, but never hear
     D5
Scraggy fingers they scratch over maps with all kingdoms displayed
   Bb5
The enticer never sleeps
      F/A      C5
Breathing doubt into your ear


Pre-Chorus:
G5         A5
I stand here all alone
          Bb5
I came here on my own
           Bb5
And you will not take hold on my creed


Chorus:
G5     A5         E5
Against the wind, against the grain
   C5   D5   G5
Open visor - arrows rain
  A5        E5  C5 D5
I'm me and I do it my way
G5     A5       E5
Don't you tell me what to be
      C5    D5   G5
Through my eyes you cannot see
  C5        D5
I'm me and I'm going my way
E5      C5       D5
Against the wind I'm going my way


Bridge:
Am              G
And if you don't like what I do
       Em  D  C
Then it's not made for you
      Am
And if you get exasperated
     F5
With what I will, or I may, or I say - it's my way!


Solo:
D5 C5 D5 C5

F5


Pre-Chorus:
      G5    A5    D5
A thousand stars melt with the sea
     Bb5   C5   F5
Elysian fields reveal to me
      G5   A5        Bb5  C5
This is the air I need to breathe - oh!


Chorus:
G5     A5         E5
Against the wind, against the grain
   C5   D5   G5
Open visor - arrows rain
  A5        E5  C5 D5
I'm me and I do it my way
G5     A5       E5
Don't you tell me what to be
      C5    D5   G5
Through my eyes you cannot see
  C5        D5
I'm me and I'm going my way
E5      C5       D5
Against the wind I'm going my way
