My life has been a  tap-es-try
-7  -6   6  5  -5  6 
Of rich and royal hue
 6  6 -5  5   -5   6  7
An ev-er last-ing vision
7  -8  -8 -8  -8    7   6
Of the ev-er chang-ing view
5  -4   6   6   6   -6  6
A wond'rous wo-ven mag-ic
 6  -6   7  7    7   7   -8
In bits of blue and gold~~~~
-8 -8  -8  7  -7  7    6   6
A  tap-es-try to feel and see
6  -6   6  6  -5  -5  6
Im-pos-si-ble to hold~~~~

  6  -5   5   -5  -5   7   -7
Once a - mid the soft sil-ver
-6   6  5   -5  -5 
Sadness in the sky
  6    6   -5 5  -5  -5  7
There came a man of fortune
-8 -8   -8  -8   7   6
A drif-ter pas-sing by
 5   -4 6   6   6   -6  6     6
He wore a torn and tattered cloth
 6  -6  7   7    7    7
Around his leathered hide
 7  -8  -8 -8 7  -7  7   6
And a coat of man-y colors
5   6     6    6 6  -5   6   
Yellow, green on either side

 6   -7    -6   6  -6  -7   8   8 
He moved with some un-cer-tain-ty
-8  7 -7  6  -6  -7
As if he didn't know
 -7   -6  6   -6   -7   7  
Just what he was there for
-8   7   -7   6   -6 -7
Or where he ought to go
 -7  -6   -7     7   -8   -8
Once he reached for something
-8   7  7   -7   6  -6 -6   
Golden hanging from a tree
 -7  -7   -7   6    6   6    -6 
And his hand came down emp - ty

 6   -5  5  -5  6  7   7   
Soon within my tap-es-try
-7  -6  6   5  -5   -5 
A-long the rut-ted road
 6  6   -5  -5 -5 -5  6   7
He sat down on a riv-er rock
 7    7    -8 -8 7   7 
And turned in-to a toad
 6   -4     6   6  6   -6  6
It seemed that he had fall-en
 6  6   6    7    7   7    7
In-to some-one's wick-ed spell
7  -8  -8  -8  7  -7  7   6
And I wept to see him suf-fer
  6    6  6  -6   6  -5    6
Though I didn't know him well

 6 -5   5    -5  6   7
As I watched in sor-row
 -7    -6  6  5   -5  -5  6
There sud-den-ly appeared~~~~
6  6  -5   5   -5  6   7   
A figure grey and ghostly
-8  -8  -8  -8   7   -5   6
Beneath a  flow-ing beard~~~~
 5   -5   6   6   6    6 -6  6   
In times of deep-est dark~~~ness
 6     6   7     7    7   -8
I've seen him dressed in black
 7  -8  -8 -8  7    -7  7  6   6
Now my tap-es-try's un-rav-el-ing
 6     6  6   6   -5  6 
He's come to take me back
 6      6     6     6     -5    6   
He's   come   to   take   me   back....
