          G       Bm              Em  Em7 
 I sat me down to write a simple story
 
       C            G            Am7 Am6 Am D 
 which maybe in the end became a song 
 
              F           Cadd9    C        B-9  B7 
 In trying to find the words which might begin it
 
   Em    Emadd9  Em     Am                   C6 Cmaj13 C6 C D 
 I found these were the thoughts I brought along

            G       Bm               Em    Em7 
 At first I took my weight to be an anchor 
 
     C              G                 Am7 Am6 Am D 
 and gathered up my fears to guide me round
 
            F       Cadd9  C     B-9   B7 
 but then I clearly saw my own delusion
 
     Em       Emsus4 Em Am                  C6 Cmaj13 C6 C D 
 and found my struggles further bogged me down

               G   Bm                Em   Em7 
 In starting out I thought to go exploring
 
     C             G              Am7 Am6 Am D 
 and set my foot upon the nearest road 
 
           F         Cadd9    C        B-9    B7 
 In vain I looked to find the promised turning
 
     Em  Emsus4 Em Am               C6 Cmaj13 C6 C D C G 
 but only saw how far I was from home
 
 
 Middle eight
 
    D           D/C                    G      C G C G 
 In searching I forsook the paths of learning 
 
    D                  D/C                  G  C G C G 
 and sought instead to find some pirate's gold 
 
    D              D/C                  G   C G C G 
 In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me 
 
     C               G                AM  D F Cadd9 C B-9 B7 
 and still no hidden truths could I unfold

                F        Cadd9   C     B-9    B7 
 The words have all been writ by one before me
 
       Em    Emsus4 Em Am                    D 
 We're taking turns in trying to pass them on
 
  B7/F#  Emsus4 Em         Am        C           G 
 Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on
