Intro:

D  Dsus2 (x3),
F#m  G  Em, D/F#  Em, F#m  Asus4  A,
D  Dsus2 (x3), D

Verse 1:

D                       D7
 Saw a sign on the path;
Em                 D    Dsus2
 "All seekers this way".
D                        F#m
 A fairy sat and laughed;
Em                Bm
 Threw a petal my way.

Chorus 1:

F                Am                         G   C
 As I neared the bridge, two soldiers stood and stared.
G                  D        Em   F#m
 "No one passes by us, up a-head;
Asus4   A             D
 You're welcome here".

Interlude:

D  Dsus2 (x3), D

Verse 2:

D                         D7
 Carried on down the road,
Em             D     Dsus2
 To the market-place.
D                  F#m
 I was still alone,
Em              Bm
 No one knew my face.

Chorus 2:

F                Am                    G   C
 Then a stranger sang, with voice like the wind.
G                  D      Em   F#m
 Then the hails be-gan to sing;
Asus4  A    D    Dsus2, D
  "Wel-come in".

Bridge 1:

F#m   G     Em           D/F#            Em
 Time rolls on, ain't no good to sit and moan.
F#m   G     Em      D/F#         Em
 Time rolls on, and so we travel on.

Chorus 3:

F              Am                  G     C
 Never did I i-magine, what a dawn would be.
G                  D        Em  F#m
 'Till I opened my eyes, to see;
Asus4   A         D
 It was welcoming me.

Interlude:

Em  F#m, Asus4  A,
D  Dsus2 (x3), D

Verse 3:

D                      D7
 At the end of my days,
Em         D    Dsus2
 On my way home.
D                    F#m
 I paused a while to gaze,
Em               Bm
 Upon the sacred stone.

Chorus 4:

F                     Am                  G  C
 There I stood in the middle, of the holy do-main.
G                     D      Em   F#m
 Then the people came out to say;
Asus4     A       D     Dsus2, D
 "Welcome home, a-gain".

Coda:

F#m   G     Em      D/F#        Em
 Time rolls on, and so we carry on.

 Time rolls on, ain't no good to sit and moan.

 Time rolls on, and so we travel on.
F#m   G     Em           D/F#              Em
 Time rolls on, ain't no good to sit and a-lone.
