we were equals in the night .

F#m
looking down between the trees ,
A
and the town we knew we had to leave .
E
for what it’s worth ,
Bm
we will walk the earth til we find the things we seek .

and the king said :

F#m A F#m
they will not protect us , we will fall .
A
they will not defend us .
Em F#m Em F#m
we’ll be left behind , we’ll be left behind .

Bm E F#m
i never give a damn about the story’s end ,
? Bm
or even how it all began .
E F#m ?
and the one word that i’ll seek is one that i can tell myself .

and it’s a long and winding road ,
but if you reap the seeds you sow ,
you’ll see you’re really not alone .

F#m
there we were , the three of us ,
A
the priest , the tramp , and i .
E
years ago , we had left to roam ,
Bm
but reunited on that night .
( starry , starry night )

F#m
no one had to speak a word ,
A
for we all knew what the others learned .
E
and everything that we ever did ,
Bm
was but a way to pass the time .

and the priest said :
F#m
i believe i’m a true believer now ,
A
i was a sinner , but i came to see the light .
Bm D D ( 5th fret )
the bum and me did not agree , but i must confess of jealousy .
A Bm D
oh my god , oh my god , yes , oh my god .
