[Verse]
                              C
I dreamed the wind came to my house
Em            G          C             D
These are the words that fell from his mouth
     G                              C
"The king you seek, you'll find him true
    Em         G         C         D
But only if he rides the road with you"

[Verse]
                             C
I stepped aboard a ship that flew
   Em          G       C      D
It took me wherever it wanted to
G                         C
Far above land, far above sea
    Em              G     C         D
The Dreamer and the Doer agreed to agree

G       Am          G    Am  D G D
Further up, further in
G       Am          G    Am  D G

[Verse]
                                      C
I was sent to the war, stripped of my power
Em           G             C         D
Gagged and imprisoned in a tall dark tower
  G                             C
I must have cried for an age or more
       Em          G           C         D
Till I saw through tears and I found the door

[Chorus]
G       Am          G    Am  D G D
Further up, further in
G       Am          G    Am  D G
Further up, further in

[Verse]
                             C
High on a cliff, in gorgeous clothes
  Em     G             C            D
A madman danced on the balls of his toes
   G                             C
Forgetting myself, I fell at the feet
       Em       G      C        D
Of the greatest fool I ever did meet

[Chorus]
G       Am          G    Am  D G D
Further up, further in
G       Am          G    Am  D G
Further up, further in

[Verse]
                                 C
The stars were bright and magic afoot
       Em     G              C          D
On the summer wind, rose the sound of a flute
  G                                   C
I saw the musician, my heart knew him well
     Em      G        C         D
What happens next, no rhyme can tell

[Chorus]
G       Am          G    Am  D G D

[Verse]
                                    C
We came to the end of the world one day
  Em      G         C         D
A dolphin swam in a sheltered bay
  G                              C
I paid to the King what it was I owed
       Em          G           C           D
Put my face to the wind and my foot on the road

[Chorus]
G       Am          G    Am  D G D
Further up, further in
G       Am          G    Am  D G
Further up, further in

[Verse]
                              C
I find I've wandered far from home
    Em         G      C      D
But home is in me wherever I roam
  G                                  C
I thought I was an hour, or a year behind
        Em            G         C    D
But the hours and the years are only time

[Chorus]
G       Am          G    Am  D G D
