Chords with lyrics
this is a very simple interpretation, but works well :) D MajorD Moses was old, a chill in his bones D MajorD Falling apart, he knew in his heart that his time had come D MajorD As he lay in his tent in the hot desert sands D MajorD He smiled at how he would never see his promised land E minorEm He sang, "I could have lived and died C majorC An Egyptian prince, could have played safe D MajorD But in the end journey's brought joys G+G That outweigh the pain" D MajorD Now Odysseus sat tired and alone
He'd always held out against all the doubts he would come home D MajorD Now he was here, his soul felt estranged D MajorD His wife and his dog, his son and his gods, everything changed E minorEm He sang, "I could have stayed and ruled C majorC As an Ithacan prince, could've played safe D MajorD But in the end journey's brought joys G+G That outweigh the pain"
D MajorD Now Balthazar rode for seven long years D MajorD Eastwards and far, he followed his star and it brought him here D MajorD To a stable in ruins in some backwater town D MajorD To a virgin defiled, no king but a child, too small for a crown E minorEm He sang, "I could have lived with my Gods C majorC As a Persian prince, I could've played safe D MajorD But in the end journey's brought joys G+G That outweigh the pain" G+G Paupers and kings, princes and thieves G+G Singers of songs, righters of wrongs, be what you believe D MajorD Saddle your horse, shoulder your load G+G
