[Verse]

        Bm        
Having seen the 
  A
Ma-donna of Swans
D                       
Are you satisfied with 
 A            A  Bm
your last trip
                  
Lemonade and some 
A
pills for the heat
     D                            
And ice upon the wounds 
          A
our lady prays for you
 
     G                 A
But you go on tugging sleeves
G                 A
 Sorting out the leaves
G                    D  D
 To sacrifiii-i-i-i-ice
A                A  A
All your grieves
 
    D
And  swearing bitterly each time
                 A      A  A  A  Bm
Something else is ruined
 
 
[Verse]
         Bm       A
Locked away-ay-ay-ay in Sand City
D                                       
And have you ever wondered how 
          A          A  Bm
you might ever leave
          Bm               
With the boatman a 
        A
taking coins all around
D                               
Shadows speaking softly 
        A
of the coming rain
 
G                   A
As you move to midstream
G             A
 Upon a glass of dream
G            D        A
 Wide is the bo-o-oat of 

your dreams
 
             D
And without looking very 

far, very far
                  A      A  A  A  Bm
Did you find the meaning
 
 
[Verse]

     Bm                 A
The windless path of an Abraham
D                                         
Is yours to climb for the 
                 A    A
splendor of believing
 
G              A
 Wake to find each morning
G              A
 The very finaaal warning
G                 D
 Your daaay-ay-ay-ay
        A
Has no dawning
 
        D         G           
And as usual the truth was 
   D           A          A  A  A  Bm
a something a missing hmm
 
 
[Verse]

     Bm          A
Too late no, no, no you are forgiven
        D
In the waters that surround 

you now my friend
             A     A  A  A  Bm
You have no meaning
 
    Bm        A
You see only the 

flying seabird
         D
And you argue what went wrong
                       A
With deciding who was leading off
 
G        A
  I was here
G        A
  I was here
G       D
Iiiii I I
A         A  A
I was here
 
 
[Outro]
            D                              
And I've a traveled long 
                  A
enough upon your shoulders
          D                                                    
I have a traveled long enough, 
                      
traveled long enough 
           A
upon your shoulders
 
          D                                                    
I have a traveled long enough, 
                     
traveled long enough 
           A
upon your shoulders
          D                                                    
I have a traveled long enough, 
                                A
traveled long enough upon your shoulders
 
          D                                                    
I have a traveled long enough, 
                                A
traveled long enough upon your shoulders
