Hero's fleece was golden, grand, His sail was [C] set in search of land,

Shipwrecked sailors in the night Were with welcome [Dm] to her side. _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [A]
Where one man's search must surely cease, The [D] irresistible white fleece led Hero
In search of [Em] the peace which she alone [Bb] could offer.

He knew his life was incomplete, For he had yet to suffer.

While the cold clouds gathered high above the halloween,
