verse 1:
G+G      FF       A minorAm     G+G
Long ago I heard a tale I never will forget
 G+G          FF       C majorC         G+G
The time was in the telling on the bank the scene was set
 G+G          FF        A minorAm        G+G
The sky was rolling blindly on, the daylight had not gone
 G+G          FF          C majorC        G+G
She washed her hair among the stones and saw what was to come
G+G FF G+G G MajorG           G+G FF G+G G MajorG
     All this will pass

verse 2:
G+G          FF         A minorAm       G+G
There will be blood among the corn and heroes in the hills
G+G          FF       C majorC           G+G
But there is more to come my boy before you've had your fill
G+G         FF        A minorAm          G+G
Men will come and rape the soil as though it were their own
G+G              FF      C majorC        G+G
And they will bathe their feet in oil as I have bathed my own
G+G FF G+G         G+G FF G+G
    All this will pass
         DmDm A minorAm C majorC
All things must come
      Bb majorBb  C majorC  E MajorE
Just as I tell you here

verse 3:
G+G          FF       A minorAm        G+G
Stones will stand together as if searching for the stars
G+G           FF     C majorC           G+G
And all come crashing down again before they reach too far
G+G            FF       A minorAm       G+G
She turned to face the setting sun, I turned to walk away
G+G            FF       C majorC        G+G
But then she called my name again and beckoned me to stay
G+G FF G+G         G+G FF G+G
    All this will pass
         DmDm A minorAm C majorC
All things must come

Just as I tell you here

verse 4:
G+G          FF        A minorAm          G+G
She told me of the famous sons who write their names in peace
G+G         FF         C majorC        G+G DmDm A minorAm C majorC
Yet be cut down before the time has come for our release
      Bb majorBb  C majorC  E MajorE
Just as I tell you here

bridge:
C majorC            E minorEm
Even now I wait for the coming day
C majorC             E minorEm
Even now she waits in the dawn
     G+G     E minorEm       D MajorD          E minorEm
For the tales she tells, for the gifts that she will sell
     G+G     E minorEm       D MajorD        E minorEm
For the sight she knows, for a vision that still grows
     E minorEm      C majorC       B minorBm
With the dream in her eyes no one's seen

verse 5:
G+G          FF        A minorAm      G+G
I listened for so long that day that I can hardly tell
G+G           FF       C majorC         G+G
If what she said was heaven sent or brought to bear in hell
G+G            FF       A minorAm       G+G
That men of hope would stand alone and still be cast a lie
G+G        FF        C majorC        G+G DmDm A minorAm C majorC
Just as Romans cast them on the day they were to die
         G+G FF G+G
All this will pass

All things must come
      Bb majorBb  C majorC  E MajorE
Just as I tell you here

For the tales she tells, for the gifts that she will sell

For the sight she knows, for a vision that still grows
