Verse 1:
   A augmentedA     BB   C# minorC#m     D MajorD
I got two strong arms, blessings of Babylon,
B minorBm   G+G      F# minorF#m   E MajorE    A augmentedA   BB
time to carry on and try for sins and false alarms.
C# minorC#m  D MajorD     E#mE#m A#mA#m B minorBm  C# minorC#m D MajorD
So to America the brave,  wise men sail.

Chorus:
E MajorE   F# minorF#m    E MajorE        A augmentedA      BB
Near a tree by a river, there's a hole in the ground,
    F# minorF#m    E MajorE      D MajorD     A augmentedA
where a old man of Arran goes around and around
    F# minorF#m    E MajorE       A augmentedA      BB
in his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night.
   F# minorF#m       E MajorE         D MajorD      A augmentedA
For a strange kind of fashion, there's a wrong and a right,
     B minorBm   C# minorC#m  D MajorD   E MajorE  G+G  C majorC
but he'll never, never fight over you.

Verse 2:
   Fmaj7Fmaj7  Bb majorBb A augmentedA       D MajorD
I got time to kill, sly looks in corridors,
  G+G   FF
without a plan of yours.
 E MajorE         A minorAm B minorBm  C majorC
A augmentedA blackbird sings on bluebird hill,
D MajorD       C majorC       Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb C minorCm  DmDm  Eb MajorEb  FF
thanks to the calling of the wild, wise man's child.

Verse 3:
   A augmentedA     BB  C# minorC#m      D MajorD
I got plans for us, nights in the scullery
  B minorBm   G+G
and days instead of me.
 F# minorF#m E MajorE     A augmentedA   BB  C# minorC#m   D MajorD      E#mE#m A#mA#m
I only know what to discuss, oh, for anything but light,
B minorBm  C# minorC#m D MajorD    E MajorE  F# minorF#m E MajorE
wise men fighting over you.
     A augmentedA   BB  C# minorC#m    D MajorD
It's not me you see, pieces of valentine,
   B minorBm   G+G        F# minorF#m    E MajorE    A augmentedA  BB
with just a song of mine, to keep from burning history.
C# minorC#m    D MajorD      E#mE#m A#mA#m B minorBm  C# minorC#m D MajorD
Seasons of gasoline and gold,  wise men fold.

Chorus:
