[Intro]
Dm C Dm C Dm C F

[Verse 1]
Dm C Dm C
Put to the sword by an impish whim
Dm C F
Follow me now to a place we begin
Dm C Dm C
Wrought with no anger, wrought with no fear
Dm C F
Devilish children playing here
Dm C Dm C
Hidden in silence, below barren waste
Dm C F
Confusion hunger, am I still awake?

Dm
Have I ever told you about my time machine
C A# Dm
Sit you down I’ll tell you everywhere I’ve been
Dm
I have lived a long life, life extraordinaire
C A# Dm
Let me tell you about it, let me take you there
Dm
Does it really matter, it’s all in the mind
C A# Dm
Let me tell you about it, listen what you’ll find

[Chorus]
G Dm G Dm
I am not a preacher, I am but a man
G Dm G Dsus2
You cannot imagine what I’ve seen and done

[Verse 2]
Dm
I have lived a long life, I have seen the world
C A# Dm
I could tell you stories, hair will stand on end
Dm
Stand among the steeples, stand upon the walls
C A# Dm
I have seen a god’s face, I have no disgrace
Dm
I have seen the gods cry, howling in the wind
C A# Dm
Where do I get started, when can I begin

[Chorus]

I am not a preacher, I am but a man

Sleep with a light that is dark to my eyes

Father and sons give me all of your lies
