[Verse 1]
D The scattered Gm/Dpages of a booC/A#k by the sBadd11ea
Held by the Em7sand, washed by the A7waves
A sDhadow fAorms cGast by a clAoud,
SkDimming bAy as Geyes of the pAast,
But the rBising tide abF#7sus4sorbs them
F#7(b9)Effortlessly cBlaiming.
[Verse 2]
D They told of Gone who tired of Aall
Singing Bm"Praise Ahim, Gpraise Ahim."
B "We heed not Emflatterers", he cAried,
"By Dour commaAnd, wG/Baters retrAeat,
SDhow my powAer, hG/Balt at my feAet,"
But the cBause was lost,
Now Emcold wEmadd9inds blAow.
[Verse 3]
D Far from the Dmnorth Bbovercast Cranks adBbvanCce
D Fear of the sDmtorm acBbcusing with rCage and scorn.
F The waves surrBb6ound the sinking thrC4one C
Singing "CDmrown Chim, Bbcrown Chim,"
"TDhose who lovA/De G/Dour majesA/Dty
SDhow themselveA/Ds!", G/Dall bent their kA/Dnee.
