The Shield
(Blackmore/Evans/Lord)
From "The Book Of Taliesyn", 1968
F#F# F# minorF#m
Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream
F#F# E/F#E/F# F#F#
While the children play in the field
F#F# F# minorF#m
Papa smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life
F#F# E/F#E/F# F#F#
But how strong is the shield?
F#F# F# minorF#m
Can peace be found on the carpet above ground
F#F# E/F#E/F# F#F#
Where sky is forever blue
F#F# E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD
So let it pass baby now, the slow and riding cloud
G+G F#F#
Which may take me from you
