Gordon Bok - The old bard song

What in the ^Aworld^{G D} do the old bard ^Emneed? Ears to ^Ahear^G and the soul to ^F#mheed^{Em D} Roof from the snow and the quiet ^Emcraic Bit of a ^Ablanket to his ^Dback Ears to ^Ahear and the ^Gsoul to ^Dheed That do ^Abe, what the old bard ^Dneed

What in the ^Aworld^{G D} do the old bard ^Emneed? Ears to ^Ahear^G and the strength to ^F#mheed^{Em D} Dab of tin for a night of ^Emwork Glim of the ^Alamp, ^Gstave ^Aoff the ^Ddark Ears to ^Ahear and the ^Gstrength to ^Dheed That do ^Abe, what the old bard ^Dneed

Soft dark ^Awind^{G D} in the hemlock-^Emnight Tap of the ^Arain^G on the shingle ^F#mtight^{Em D} Southeast wind in the bending ^Emreed Cup of the ^Awarm for the body's ^Dneed Ears to ^Ahear and a ^Gtear to ^Dweep And he'll be ^Atucking him off to ^Dsleep

But what would you ^Ado^{G D} for the old one's ^Emheart? A song or a ^Atale^G of your own, to ^F#mstart^{Em D} The quiet word by the shifting ^Emfire Words of your ^Aown dear heart's de^Dsire For the cares of the ^Aone are the ^Gcares of us ^Dall Your heart gives ^Aheart to another ^Dsoul

^AThen,^{G D} when the old path climbs ^Emagain Threads of ^Awonder,^G wish and ^F#mpain^{Em D} He'll be weaving, the road a^Emlong And you'll be the ^Afabric of the ^Dsong Ears to ^Ahear and a ^Gsoul to ^Dheed These for ^Asure, do the old bard ^Dneed Ears to ^Ahear and a ^Gsoul to ^Dheed These for ^Asure, do the old bard ^Dneed
