[Verse 1]
D Gsus2/A D Gsus2/A
My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue,
D Gsus2/A D G6/D D Dsus2
An everlasting vision ...of the ever - changing view,
Em7 A Em7 A
A wonderous woven magic ...in bits of blue and gold,
Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7 A
A tapestry to feel and see, im - possible to hold!
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7 Gsus2/A Dmaj7 Gsus2/A
Once, amid the soft silver sadness in the sky,
Dmaj7 Gsus2/A Dmaj7 G/D D Dsus2
There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by,
Em7 A Em7 A
He wore a torn, and tattered, cloth a - round his leathered hide,
Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7 A
And a coat of many colours, yellow/green on either side!
Em7 A

[Verse 3]
F Bb/F C/F Bb/F
He moved with some un - certainty, as if he didn't know,
F Bb/F C/F Bb/F F
Just what he was there for, or where he ought to go,
A E/A D/A A
Once he reached for something golden hanging from a tree,
A/D A/G Gmaj7
And his hand came down emp - ty!
[Verse 4]
G D Em7 Dmaj7 Gsus2/A Dmaj7 Gsus2/A
| / / / / | Soon, within my tapestry, a - long the rutted road,
Dmaj7 Gsus2/A Dmaj7 G/D D Dsus2
He sat down on a river rock, and turned in - to a toad,
Em7 A Em7 A
It seemed that he had fallen into someone's wicked spell,
Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7 A
And I wept to see him suffer, though I didn't know him well!
[Verse 5]
Eb Ab/Eb Eb Ab/Eb
As I watched in sorrow, there suddenly ap - peared...
Eb Ab/Eb Eb Ab/Eb Eb
...A figure, grey and ghostly, be - neath a flowing beard,
Fm7 Bb Fm7 Bb
In times of deepest darkness, I've seen him dressed in black,
Abmaj7 Gm7 Fm7 Bb
Now my tapestry's un - ravelling, he's come to take me back,
Fm7 Bb/C Ab/Bb
He's come ...to take ...me ...back! | / / / / | / / / / |
