Verse 1:

G                  G/F#              Em
 There was a time, I thought of mine only.
G                G/F#               Em
 Could it be, oc-curred to me while lonely.

Chorus 1:

C            Bm         Em             C
 I was noble personage, born to beauti-fy the page.
   Em     C              Em   C  D7
If I used time to set it down.

Verse 2:

G                  G/F#              Em
 There was a time, I thought of mine only.
G                G/F#               Em
 Could it be, oc-curred to me while lonely.

Chorus 2:

C              Bm       Em           C
 I was of high lineage, cast up in a dreadful age.
Em              C            Em   C  D7
 Born to be the hermit of my line.

Bridge 1:

Bm          F#m      Bm           F#m
 On a windy saturday, St. Alban's market day.
Em                            C
 Little did I know the work I was to do,
       Bm            Em    D7
Or the love I had to show.

Verse 3:

G                  G/F#              Em
 There was a time, I thought of mine only.
G                G/F#               Em
 Could it be, oc-curred to me while lonely.

Chorus 3:

C              Bm       Em           C
 I was of high lineage, cast up in a dreadful age.

 Born to be the hermit of my line.
