Chords tracked down by Doug Floyd

(A) Second sons are the (E) wandering ones
(Bm) so we were the best of (F#m) friends
(D) I never felt more (A) like myself
than when (E) I stood beside him then

(A) He lived out on the (E) Lisgar Ridge
(Bm) on top of the rocks and (F#m) sand
(D) He spent his days (A) making ways
of bringing (E) water to his land

Break: OVER  A   E  Bm  F#m  D  A  E

(A) Out of the blue when (E) I came to you
I (Bm) brought my cross and (F#m) chain
(D) I watched you paint your (A) canvas
(E) out there standing in the rain

(A) So many nights I (E) saw the light
that (Bm) you held in your (F#m) hands
(D) You never said that (A) much to me
but I (E) came to understand

Oh and (D) one night
just around (A) midnight
we were (F#m) drunk (E) and singing (D) songs (A)
I said (D) my life goes by (A)
and I'm (D) so afraid to (C#m) die
you said (F#m) everything is (E) right before your (D) eyes
but when it (Bm) changes now (E) don't you be (A) surprised (D)

Solo over: F#   D    E   D  C#m D  F#M  E   D

(A) When God looked down (E) upon His land
(Bm) He saw the lakes and (F#m) trees
(D) He said I've made my (A) peace
but next time (E) I'd do it differently

(A) I'll never forget the (E) night they came
to (Bm) tell me that you'd be (F#m) gone
(D) I wondered where the (A) light would come from (E) now
to carry on

Oh and (D) one night
just around (A) midnight
we were (F#m) drunk (E) and singing (D) songs (A)
I said (D) my life goes by (A)
and I'm (D) so afraid to (C#m) die
you said (F#m) everything is (E) right before your (D) eyes
but when it (Bm) changes now (E) don't you be (A) surprised (D)

Final solo out : E   F#m   D    E    D   C#m   D  Bm   E    D   A   E Bm  F#m
