I sat me [G] down [Bm] to write a simple [Em] story
[G] [C] Which maybe [G] in the end [Am] became a song
[E] [C] [D] In trying [Dm] to find the [Em] words [C] which might [Ebm] begin it
[B] I [Em] found these were the [Am] thoughts I'd brought [C] along
[D] [G]
[E] But first [G] I took my [Bm] way to be [Em] an anchor
I [G] [C] gathered up [G] my fears to bind [Am] me round
[G] [Em]
[D] But then [Dm] I clearly [Em] saw [C] my own [Ebm] delusion
[B] [Em] And found my [Am] struggles further bogged [C] me down
[D]
[E] In starting [G]
out I [Bm] thought to go [Em] exploring
[G] And [C] set my foot [G] upon the [Am] nearest road
[E] [D]
In vain [Dm] I looked [Em] to find [C] the [Ebm] promised turning
[B] [Em] But only saw [Am] how far I was from [C] home
[D] In searching [Dm] I forsook the paths of [G] learning
[C] And [D]
[Dm] so instead to find [G] some pirate's gold
In [D] fighting [Dm] I did hurt those [G] dearest to me
[C] Still no [G] hidden truths could I [Am] unfold

The words [Dm] have all [Em] been read by [Ebm] one before [B] me
[Em] We're [Gb] taking [Am] turns in trying to pass [C] them on
