The Storyman chords by De Burgh Chris

Am    Am     G     Am
I lived my life in the words of a Storyman,
Am     Am       G     Am
Watched my dreams from the years gone by,
     C      G     Am
Heard my voice in the songs of a Storyman,
D       Em  D      Em
Always by my side, always by my side;

 Am   Am     G     Am
I saw him first in a castle by candlelight,
Am   Am      G   Am
Turning round with a golden key,
     C     G      Am
I heard a train far away, and a whistle blow,
D       Em  D         Em
Like a baby's cry, 'twas like a baby's cry;

 Am  Am      G    Am
Ravens stood on the walls of Jerusalem,
Am   Am      G   Am
Sailors danced at the borderline,
    C      G      Am
Light a fire on the road to the ferryman,
D        Em  D      Em
Emotions running high, in the summertime;

--> Chorus
C          G
Take me back to the places I've never been,
C        G    C
Take me back to another time,
C         G         C
Take me back to a world I have never seen,
D     Em  D     Em
Only in my mind, only in my mind;

   Am  Am     G     Am
Late last night I met up with a lady-love,
Am     Am     G  Am
Dressed in red, didn't say goodbye,
   C     G      Am
Carry me to the last time I showed her what
D        Em   D        Em
Tender hands can do, and I'll be missing you;
Chorus -->

C
Follow the light that's shining on to where we will be going,
G
Up to Heaven, Paradise, or to the heart divine;
C
It's in the echoes of a child, waiting for the journey,
G
The spirit of one world;


Oh
Chorus -->

 Am    Am     G     Am
