Em C D Em
I lived my life in the words of a Storyman,
Em C D Em
Watched my dreams from the years gone by,
Em C D Em
Heard my voice in the songs of a Storyman,
D Em D Em
Always by my side, always by my side,
Em C D Em
I saw him first in a castle by candlelight,
Em C D Em
Turning round with a golden key,
Em C D Em
I heard a train far away, and a whistle blow,
D Em D Em
Like a baby's cry, 'twas like a baby's cry,
Em C D Em
Ravens stood on the walls of Jerusalem,
Em C D Em
Sailors danced at the borderline,
Em C D Em
Light a fire on the road to the ferryman,
D Em D Em
Emotions running high, in the summertime,
C G
Take me back to the places I've never been,
C G C
Take me back to another time,
C D Em
Take me back to a world I have never seen,
D Em D Em
Only in my mind, only in my mind,
Em C D Em
Late last night I met up with a lady-love,
Em C D Em
Dressed in red, didn't say goodbye,
Em C D Em
Carry me to the last time I showed her what
D Em D Em
Tender hands can do, and I'll be missing you,
C G
Take me back to the places I've never been,
C G C
Take me back to another time,
C G Em
Take me back to a world I have never seen,
D Em D Em
Only in my mind, only in my mind,
C Em D Em
C Em D Em
Em C
Follow the light that's shining on to where we will be going,
Em D Em
Up to Heaven, Paradise, or to the heart divine,
C
It's in the echoes of a child, waiting for the journey,
B
The spirit of one world,
C G C G C
C G Em D Em D Em
C G
Oh take me back to the places I've never been,
C G C
Take me back to another time,
C G Em
Take me back to a world I have never seen,
D Em D Em C D Em
Only in my mind, only in my mind,
Em
I lived my life in the words of a Storyman...
