[Verse]
E A E
Oh I have lived for ages, I'm a thousand turns of tides
E C#m7 A E
I'm a thousand wakes of springtime, and a thousand infant cries
B E
Oh, a thousand infant cries
[Verse]
E A E
I've got sixteen-hundred tigers now all tied to silver strings
E C#m7 A E
When they pull out in the pasture, oh the mighty heart will sing
B E
Oh, the mighty heart will sing
[Chorus]
B C#m
But I'll always be blamed for the sun going down with a song
A E B E
But I'm the light in the middle of every man's fall
[Verse]
E A E
I bend my arrows now in circles and I shoot around the hill
E C#m7 A E
If I don't get you in the morning by the evening I sure will
B E
By the evening I sure will
E A E
Cause I'm the fire on the mountain you have lit up in your dreams
E C#m7 A E
But also water on the fountain, you can set my self on me
B E
You can set my self on me
[Chorus]
B C#m
But I'll always be blamed for the sun going down with a song
A E B E
But I'm the light in the middle of every man's fall
[Solo]

[Verse]
E A E
And no I never meant to say these words, but yes you ought to know,
E C#m7 A E
That the dark ain't what I've always been, it will not ever go,
B E
No, it will not ever go.
E A E
For so I've lived a thousand years, a thousand turns of tides,
E A E
Just a thousand leaves in Autumn and a thousand ways to try
B C#m A B
Oh a thousand, it's just a thousand ways to try
[Outro]
E-Emaj7 A B
Ways to try...
