Though Adam was a [Ab] friend of mine, [Gb]
I did not know him well.
He [Db] was [Ab] alone into [Bbm] his distance, [Ab] _ [Gb] he was deep into his well. _ _
_ _ [Db] I could [Fm] guess what he [Bbm] was laughing [Ab] at, [Gb] but I couldn't really tell.
_ [Bbm] Now the [Ab] story's told [Bbm] that Adam [Ab] jumped, [Gb] but I'm thinking that [Bbm] he fell. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [Db] His [Fm] destination _ [Bbm] India, [Ab] _ [Gb] and I had none at _ all. _

_ _ [Bbm] When we parted we [Db] were laughing still [Gb] as our goodbyes were said.
And [Db] I never [Ab] heard [Bbm] from him [Ab] again [Gb] as each our lives we _ led.
_ _ _ [Db] Except [Ab] for once [Bbm] in someone [Ab] else's [Gb] letter that I read.
_ [Bbm] Until [Bb] I heard the sudden [Ab] word that [Bbm] a friend [Bb] of mine was dead.

I sit before my [Db] only candle, _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
like a pilgrim who sits beside [Db] the way.
_ _ _ _ Now [Gb] this _ journey appears [Ab] before [Bbm] my candle, _ _ _ _ as [Db] a song that's growing fainter.
_ [Ab] The harder _ I play, the [Bbm] less fear before I am I'll [Fm] fade away.

Well [Bb] I'm not the one [Bbm] to say I [Ab] know, [Gb] but I'm hoping he [Bb] was wrong.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Gb] _ I'm holding out my only [Db] _ candle, _ _ _ _ [Gb] though it's so little light to find my [Db] way. _ _ _
