Chords with lyrics
I won't be covering the solos or the fingerpicking patterns, but they're fairly
easy to figure out if you know the chords.
INTRO: C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC Bb majorBb FF A minorAm G+G
C majorC Bb majorBb
There's a ring around the moon tonight
C majorC Bb majorBb
and a chill in the air
C majorC Bb majorBb C-F A minorAm G+G
And a fire in the stars that hang so near, so near
C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC Bb majorBb
There's a sound in the wind that blows through the wild mountain holds
C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC FF A minorAm G+G
Like the sighs of a thousand crying souls, crying souls
Fill: FF G+G
There's a time when the traveler is fated to find
That insight has turned his gaze behind, behind
And the steps taken yesterday will beckon again
And lead to his weary journey's end, his journey's end
(Chorus)
FF G+G E minorEm Am-G
And in the passage from the cradle to the grave
FF G+G E minorEm Am-G
we are born, madly dancing
FF G+G E minorEm A minorAm
Rushing headlong through the crashing of the days
Bb majorBb FF G+G
We run on and on without a backwards glance
Bb majorBb FF G+G
We run on and on without a backwards glance
A minorAm G+G A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm
I cast my fate with the wife of Lot I turned my gaze around
A minorAm G+G FF G+G
Knowing neither what I sought nor what was to be found
A minorAm G+G A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm
Heeding weakness, feeding strength, oh life at length is frail
A minorAm G+G FF
I seek again the river's source through time's dark shadowed veil
SOLO: C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC Bb majorBb FF A minorAm G+G
In the fast fading century, as we spin through the years
I pray that our failing vision clears, our vision clears
(Chorus)
The places dash and the faces dart like fishes in a dream
Hiding 'neath the murky banks of long forgotten streams
The lines of life are never long when seen from end to end
The future's never coming, and the past has never been
There's a ring around the moon tonight, and a chill in the air
