[E] St.
Stephen [D] with the [A] rose in and out of [E] the garden he goes, country garden in the [D] wind and the rain, wherever he goes the people all [Eb] complain.
[E] Stephen [D] prospered in his [A] time, well he may and he may [E] decline, did it matter [D] does it now, Stephen [B] would answer if he [E] only knew how.

Stephen [D] will [A] remain, all lost [E] he shall regain, seashore [D] washed by the sun and the foam, been here so long he's got to callin' it [E] home.
Marching, columns are crawling, good life we won, [D] spinning [A] back, furious sense [G] [E] of your own.
Can you answer?
Yes [D] I can, but [E] what would be the answer to the [D] answer man?
