Lyrics (with chord prompt above)


Verse 1:

      B minorBm
There's an old tale wrought with the mystery of Tom
  Asus2Asus2
the poet and his muse
   F# minorF#m        G+G
and a magic lake which gave a life
    A augmentedA     F# minorF#m
to the words the poet used


Segway Riff:

    B minorBm
Now the muse she was his happiness
    Asus2Asus2
and he rhymed about her grace
  F# minorF#m         G+G
And told her stories of treasures deep
  A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
Beneath the blackened waves


Segway Riff:

   B minorBm
'Till in the stillness of one dawn
   Asus2Asus2
still in its mystic crown
  F# minorF#m        G+G
the muse she went down to the lake
  A augmentedA    F# minorF#m   B minorBm
and in the waves she drowned


Chorus:

G+G                 A augmentedA
   And now to see your love set free
B minorBm                  E MajorE
   You will need the witch's cabin key
E minor 7Em7               F# minorF#m
Find the lady of the light gone mad with the night
G+G          A augmentedA
   That's how you reshape destiny


Segway Riff:

  B minorBm
The poet came down to the lake
  Asus2Asus2
to call out to his dear
F# minorF#m        G+G
when there was no answer
    A augmentedA  F# minorF#m
he was overcome with fear


Segway Riff:

  B minorBm
He searched in vain for his treasure lost
    Asus2Asus2
and too soon the night would fall
  F# minorF#m     G+G
and only his own echo
      A augmentedA  F# minorF#m
would wail back as his call


Segway Riff:

  B minorBm
And when he swore to bring back his love
    Asus2Asus2
by the stories he'd create
F# minorF#m        G+G
nightmares shifted in their sleep
    A augmentedA     F# minorF#m   B minorBm
in the darkness of the lake


Chorus:

G+G                  A augmentedA
    And now to see your love set free
B minorBm                   E MajorE
    You will need the witch's cabin key
E minor 7Em7               F# minorF#m
Find the lady of the light still ravin' in the night
G+G           A augmentedA
    That's how you reshape destiny


Segway Riff:

    B minorBm
In the dead of night she came to him
   Asus2Asus2
with darkness in her eyes
F# minorF#m      G+G
  wearing a mourning gown
   A augmentedA    FF   B minorBm
sweet words as her disguise

  B minorBm
He took her in without a word
    Asus2Asus2
for he saw his grave mistake
  F# minorF#m         G+G
and vowed them both to silence
A augmentedA   F# minorF#m    B minorBm
deep beneath the lake

  B minorBm
Now if its real or just a dream
  Asus2Asus2
one mystery remains
  F# minorF#m      G+G
for it is said on moonless nights
   A augmentedA     F# minorF#m    B minorBm (let ring)
they may still haunt this place
