Verse 1:
Am       E       Am
Have you seen my husband?
      Am        Em/B     C
You'd know him, if you had
     G                C      Em/B
He's known around old London Town
     Am     E          Am
Most people think he's mad

Am            E          Am
My husband he talks with angels
         Am           Em/B   C
And with spirits that he can see
   G                C   Em/B
He passes time with the divine
    Am     E         Am
But not so much with me


Chorus:
      F                C
But I held him when he faltered
     F                   C
When earth and faith did shake
       Am           Dm
And on my grave the words will say
      Am         E       Am
"I Believed You, William Blake"


Verse 2:
   Am         E      Am
We scraped by in the shadows
          Am   Em/B     C
Sown with pity and with scorn
    G                   C     Em/B
The great and good they never could
Am          E       Am
Recognize a prophet born

     Am     E   Am
With poetry and engravings
       Am    Em/B  C
He presented Paradise
      G               C     Em/B
He revealed to them a Jerusalem
Am             E    Am
They would not recognize


Chorus:
      F                C
But I held him when he faltered
     F                   C
When earth and faith did shake
    Am              Dm
And on my grave the words will say
      Am         E       Am
"I Believed You, William Blake"

Mr. William Blake
            Em/B             Am Ammaj7 Am7 Fmaj7
There's one promise you must make
F                        G
Dear William, if you're right
           Em/B           Am Ammaj7 Am7 Fmaj7
About life on the other side, about paradise
F                      G
Then you must promise me
               Em/B              Am Ammaj7
That you won't leave me when you leave
     Am7         Fmaj7
This world that didn't believe
F                      G
Be a comfort to your wife
             Em/B           Am Ammaj7 Am7 Fmaj7
She gave you up her one and only certain life


Outro:

I believed you William Blake
Am7               Fmaj7
I'll be with you, damned or saved
F                        G
Don't you leave me in my grave
    Em/B               Am E Am
I believed you William Blake
