Intro: Bm - Em - A - Em x2
 
 
[VERSE 1]
   Bm                     B9
An old man by a seashore 
 
Em             B*
At the end of day
 
A                G
Gazes the horizon 
 
     A              Bm
With seawinds in his face 
 
Bm              B9
Tempest-tossed island 
 
Em                B*
Seasons all the same 
 
A                 G
Anchorage unpainted 
 
      A               Bm
And a ship without a name 
 
 
Bm              B9           Em               B*
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard 
 
   A            G             A               Bm
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world 
 
Bm          B9            Em            B*
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts 
 
   A              G            A           Bm
The ones on their travels homeward from afar 
 
 
 
[CHOURS]
Bm         G    D   A   Bm
This is for long-forgotten 
 
G           D            Em    Bm
Light at the end of the world 
 
   G  D  A   Bm
Horizon crying 
 
    G              D           Em
The tears he left behind long ago 
 
 
 
[VERSE 2]
  Bm             B9
The albatross is flying 
 
     Em          B*
Making him daydream 
 
        A          G
The time before he became 
 
      A              Bm
One of the world's unseen 
 
Bm                B9
Princess in the tower 
 
  Em               B*
Children in the fields 
 
A                G
Life gave him it all: 
 
    A                  Bm
An island of the universe 
 
Bm              B9
Now his love's a memory 
 
  Em             B*
A ghost in the fog 
 
    A                  G
He sets the sails one last time 
 
    A                 Bm
Saying farewell to the world 
 
Bm            B9
Anchor to the water 
 
Em             B*
Seabed far below 
 
   A           G
Grass still in his feet 
 
          A               Bm
And a smile beneath his brow 
 
 
Bm - Em - A - Em x2
 
 
[CHOURS]
Bm         G    D   A   Bm
This is for long-forgotten 
 
G           D            Em    Bm
Light at the end of the world 
 
   G  D  A   Bm
Horizon crying 
 
    G              D           Em
The tears he left behind long ago 
 
 
End: Bm - Em - A - Em x2
