[Intro]
Bm-Bm9-GM7-G6-A-G-A-Bm
(Begins with 4x melody intro.)
[Verse]
Bm Bm9
An old man by a seashore
GM7 G6
At the end of day
A G
Gazes the horizon
A Bm
With seawinds in his face
Bm Bm9
Tempest-tossed island
GM7 G6
Seasons all the same
A G
Anchorage unpainted
A Bm
And a ship without a name
(Bm for 3 bars before singing continues.)
Bm Bm9 GM7 G6
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
A G A
He lightens the beacon, light
Bm
at the end of world
Bm Bm9 GM7 G6
Showing the ay lighting hope in their hearts
A G A Bm
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
(Bm for 1 measure before singing continues.)
[Chorus]
Bm G D A Bm
This is long-for got-ten
G D Em-Bm
Light at the end of the world
G D A Bm
Hori-zon cry-un
G D Em
The tears he left behind long ago
(2x Melody intro thing intercedes.)
[Verse]
Bm Bm9
The albatross is flying
GM7 G6
Making him daydream
A G
The time before he became
A Bm
One of the world's unseen
Bm Bm9
Princess in the tower
GM7 G6
Children in the fields
A G
Life gave him it all:
A Bm
An island of the universe
(4 measures of Bm and if you cool
you can say Ohh on the 3rd measure.)
Bm Bm9
Now his love's a memory
GM7 G6
A ghost in the fog
A G
He sets the sails one last time
A Bm
Saying farewell to the world
Bm Bm9
Anchor to the water
GM7 G6
Seabed far below
A G
Grass still in his feet
A Bm
And a smile beneath his brow
(Bm for 3 measures before singing continues.)
[Chorus]
Bm G D A Bm
This is for long-for got-ten
G D Em-Bm
Light at the end of the world
G D A Bm
Hori-zon cry-un
G D Em
The tears he left behind so long ago
(Intro melody x2, Bagpipe-thing solo, chorus, Introx2, Ending Bagpipe solo. Sing "So long
ago" between the Intro melodies.)
Judging from the videos I've seen of Marco playing it, I don't think he uses the same fingerings
for the chords but it sounds the same to me.
