Instrumental Intro (×2)
Bb Bb | Eb Bb/D Eb/Db C | F Ebmaj7 | Db C Bbsus4/Eb Bb/Eb
Bb Bb7
Eb/Ab Eb/G Eb/Ab Eb/Bb


B                  B7/A                     E/G#             B/F#
The path is clear, though no eyes can see
Em/G                  F#7/C               B7sus4 B7
The course laid down long before
E                        F#m7/E
And so with gods and men
Bm/D                C7/D
The sheep remain inside their pen
G                                 E7/G                 A#dim
Though many times they've seen the way to leave

 


He rides majestic, past homes of men
Who care not or gaze with joy
To see reflected there
The trees, the sky, the lily fair
The scene of death is lying just below

 

Bridge
E              A/E                 Emaj7      A/E
The mountain cuts off the town from view
Bbm   Ebm             Bb/F       Eb
Like a cancer growth is removed by skill
Eb  F   G
Let it be revealed
Bb/C                    Cm/F
A waterfall, his madrigal
E                          B/F#
An inland sea, his symphony
E              B/F#
Na-na-na-na-na
F#maj7
Na-naaaa


B                  B7/A               E/G#     B/F#
Undinal songs urge the sailors on
Em/G         A7sus4 A7     E
Till lured by the sirens' cry
