Verse 1:
A minorAm                           Bb majorBb
The one eyed old man told me that the face that I will see
A minorAm                       Bb majorBb
Has paralysed a thousand brave mensure of victory
A minorAm                           Bb majorBb
I cannot fight blindfolded and I'd freeze if I should see
A minorAm                         Bb majorBb
So I need to sacrifice my eyes to see all from within
A minorAm                           Bb majorBb
The one eyed old man had told me of a lake that no one knows
A minorAm
Where the end of the sky unites with the
bottom
Bb majorBb
Countless feet down deep
A minorAm
And he told me when this world was young
Bb majorBb
Into its depths his eye he had thrown
A minorAm
So that, though one eyed,
Bb majorBb
he could see more than can be seen

Chorus:
FF       C majorC       DmDm
I'll throw my eyes into the lake
FF       C majorC      DmDm
So that I will see from within
FF       C majorC       DmDm
I'll throw my eyes into the lake
FF    C majorC   Bb majorBb      DmDm
And when blind I will still see
A minorAm      FF   G+G
At the bottom of the lake
A minorAm        FF  G+G     A minorAm
My two eyes will shine like the stars
A minorAm      FF    G+G
At the bottom of the lake
A minorAm      FF     G+G    C minorCm
I will see no matter how near or far
C minorCm      G#G#   Bb majorBb
At the bottom of the lake
C minorCm        G#G#  Bb majorBb   C minorCm
My two eyes will shine like the stars
C minorCm      G#G#   Bb majorBb
At the bottom of the lake
C minorCm      G#G#     G+G    C minorCm
I will see no matter how near or far

Verse 2:
A minorAm
Regardless at which speed my horse
           Bb majorBb
Takes me through the night
A minorAm
No matter how sharp the blade
           Bb majorBb
Of my sword seems to be
A augmentedA
Even with the aid of two pair
        Bb majorBb
Of eyes way up high
A minorAm
In the end before the Beast its face
           Bb majorBb
I would have had to see
A minorAm
But with my two eyes in the depths
         Bb majorBb
My vision is supreme
A minorAm
I see all things that can't be seen
                   Bb majorBb
But not my hand held out in front of me
A minorAm
The face that makes men freeze
           Bb majorBb
I now need not see at all
A minorAm
I'll feel the presence of the Beast
                    Bb majorBb
But will not need to stare him down no more

Chorus:
FF       C majorC       DmDm
I'll throw my eyes into the lake
FF       C majorC       DmDm
So that I will see from within
FF       C majorC       DmDm
I'll throw my eyes into the lake
FF     C majorC  Bb majorBb      DmDm
And when blind I will still see
A minorAm      FF   G+G
At the bottom of the lake
A minorAm        FF  G+G     A minorAm
My two eyes will shine like the stars
A minorAm      FF   G+G
At the bottom of the lake
A minorAm      FF     G+G    C minorCm
I will see no matter how near or far
C minorCm      G#G#   Bb majorBb
At the bottom of the lake
C minorCm        G#G#  Bb majorBb    C minorCm
My two eyes will shine like the stars

At the bottom of the lake

I will see no matter how near or far
