Had a golden thing
G                          G/F# G     C     D
Wore it about you like the robes of a king
           C     G
That was a heavy price
G                                   G/F# G    C     Am D
Never were to wore them though they fit  real nice

They were another's robes,

Sewn up and claimed in the days of old

So with the utmost care

Took em off and layed em on the others chair

But you lingered there

Caressing the folds with your shoulders bare

With the help of grace

Stitched up your courage and you left that place

Oh, you left that place
Bb A     G
Oh, that place

Now with the vaguest plan
G                           G/F# G C    D
You take to the road like a roving man
       C       G
If the road is long
G                         G/F# G C
Stich up your courage and carry  on
          Am        D
And if it all feels wrong

Time        moves   on
