Bm B9
an old man by a seashore
mm B *
at the end of day
A G
gazes the horizon
A Bm
with seawinds in his face
Bm B9
tempest – tossed island
mm B *
seasons all the same
A G
anchorage unpainted
A Bm
and a ship without a name
Bm B9 mm B *
sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
A G A Bm
he lightens the beacon , light at the end of world
Bm B9 mm B *
showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
A G A Bm
the ones on their travels homeward from afar
[ chours ]
Bm G D A Bm
this is for long – forgotten
Gm D Em Bm
light at the end of the world
Gm D A Bm
horizon crying
Gm D Em
the tears he left behind long ago
Bm B9
the albatross is flying
mm B *
making him daydream
A G
the time before he became
A Bm
one of the world’s unseen
Bm B9
princess in the tower
mm B *
children in the fields
A G
life gave him it all :
A Bm
an island of the universe
Bm B9
now his love’s a memory
mm B *
a ghost in the fog
A G
he sets the sails one last time
A Bm
saying farewell to the world
Bm B9
anchor to the water
mm B *
seabed far below
A G
grass still in his feet
A Bm
and a smile beneath his brow
[ chours – end ]
Bm G D A Bm
this is for long – forgotten
G D Em Bm
light at the end of the world
G D A Bm
horizon crying
G D Em
the tears he left behind so long ago
