My [F] life has been [G] a tapestry [F] of rich and royal hue,
_ An everlasting _ [Gm] vision _ [F] of the [C] ever [F]-changing view,
[Gm] A wondrous [C] woven magic [G] in bits [Gm] of blue and [C] gold,
A [A#] _ _ tapestry [Am] to feel and see, [Gm] _ impossible to [C] hold.
_ [F] Once amid [C] the soft _ [F] silver sadness in [A#] the sky,
[F] There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing _ by,
[Gm] He wore a torn [C] and tattered cloth [Gm] around his [C] leathered hide,
[A#] And a coat of many [Am] colors, [Gm] yellow, green on either [C] _ side.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
He [G#] moved with some [C#] _ uncertainty [G#] as if he [C#] didn't know, _
[G#] Just what he was [C#] there for, [D#]
where [C#] he ought to [G#] go.
_ _ [C]
Once he reached [G] for something [F] golden hanging from [C] a tree,
And his hand came down _ [A#] empty. _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ Soon within my tapestry _ along the rutted [G] road,
He [F] sat down [G] on a river rock [F] and turned [A#]
into [F] a toad.
[Gm] It seemed that he [C] had fallen [Gm] into _ someone's wicked [C] spell,
And [A#] I went to [Am] see him suffer, [Gm] though I didn't know [C] him well.
_ [F#] As I watched [B] in sorrow, there [F#] suddenly _ _ appeared
[F#] A figure, [B] gray and ghostly, [F#] beneath a flowing beard.
In [G#m] times of [C#] deepest darkness, [G#m] I've seen him dressed [C#] in black.
Now [B] my _ tapestry's [A#m] _ _
unraveling, [G#m] he's come to take [C#] me back.
_ _ [G#m] He's come to take [C#] me back. _ _ _ _ _
