[Bb] [Ab] [Bb] [C] Oh, light the candle, [Bb] John, [Ab] the daylight [Bb] is almost [Cm] gone
The birds have sung their [Bb] last, [Ab] the bells [Bb] call out a [C] mass
Sit [Bb] here by my [Cm] side, for the night is [Gm] very [Cm] long
There's [Bb] something I [Cm] must tell, [Ab] before I [Bb] pass [Cm] along
I joined the [Bb] Brotherhood, [Ab] my books were [Bb] all to [Cm] me
I scribed the words [Bb] of God, [Ab] and [Bb] much of history
[Cm]
Many a [Bb] year was [Cm] I, which dove [Bb] upon the [Cm] sea
The waves would [Bb] wash my [Cm]
tears, [Ab] the wind [Bb] my [Cm] memory
I'd hear the ocean [Gm] [Bb] breeze, [Ab] exhaled [Bb] upon the [Cm] shore
I knew the [Bb] tempest's blood, [Ab] its wrath [Bb] I would [Cm] endure
And so [Bb] the years went [Cm] by, within [Gm] my rocky [Cm] cell
With [Bb] only a mouse or a [Cm] bird, [Ab] my friend, I [Bb] loved [Cm] them well
So it came [Bb] to pass, [Ab] I'd come [Bb] here to Romany
[Cm]
And many a year [Bb] it took, [Ab] till I [Bb] arrived at here [Cm] with thee
On [Bb] dusty roads [Cm] I walked, and over [Bb] mountains [Cm]
high
Through rivers [Bb] [Cm] running deep, [Ab] beneath [Bb] the [C] endless [Cm] sky

I give you now my [Bb] books, [Ab] and told [Bb] thee [Cm] mysteries
Now take the [Bb] [Cm]
hourglass, and [Bb] turn it on [Cm] its head
For when the [Bb] sun's [Cm] on its teeth, [Ab] just then you'll [Bb] find me [C] dead
Oh, [Cm] light the [Bb] candle, [Cm] John, the daylight [Gm] is almost [Cm] gone
