G           F              Am          G
Long ago I heard a tale I never will forget
 G                    F             C                  G
The time was in the telling on the bank the scene was set
  G                   F               Am               G
The sky was rolling blindly on, the daylight had not gone
 G                    F                   C                G
She washed her hair among the stones and saw what was to come
G F G G                      G F G G
         All this will pass

G                    F                  Am             G
There will be blood among the corn and heroes in the hills
G                    F             C                     G
But there is more to come my boy before you've had your fill
G                  F                Am                   G
Men will come and rape the soil as though it were their own
G                           F            C                G
And they will bathe their feet in oil as I have bathed my own
G F  G                  G  F  G
        All this will pass
                  Dm Am C
All things must come
           Bb   C   E
Just as I tell you here

verse 3:
G                    F             Am                G
Stones will stand together as if searching for the stars
G                      F          C                     G
And all come crashing down again before they reach too far
G                        F             Am             G
She turned to face the setting sun, I turned to walk away
G                       F             C                G
But then she called my name again and beckoned me to stay
G F  G                  G  F  G
        All this will pass
                  Dm Am C
All things must come
           Bb   C   E
Just as I tell you here

verse 4:
G                   F               Am                   G
She told me of the famous sons who write their names in peace
G                  F                 C                G  Dm Am C
Yet be cut down before the time has come for our release
           Bb   C   E
Just as I tell you here

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

verse 5:
G                   F                Am            G
I listened for so long that day that I can hardly tell
G                      F              C                 G
If what she said was heaven sent or brought to bear in hell
G                        F              Am              G
That men of hope would stand alone and still be cast a lie
G               F                C                G  Dm Am C
Just as Romans cast them on the day they were to die
                  G  F  G
All this will pass
                  Dm Am C
All things must come
           Bb   C   E
Just as I tell you here

For the tales she tells, for the gifts that she will sell
         G         Em             D                Em
For the sight she knows, for a vision that still grows
