( F#m E A B F#m E D A )x2

Bm A D E F#m

E     A          B
I got two strong arms
C#m          D
Blessings of Babylon
Bm      G            F#m
Time to carry on and try
    E        A      B
For sins and false alarms
C#m    D          D#m  A#m
So to America the brave
Bm   A   D
Wise men save

E      F#m       E
Near a tree by a river
          A           B
There's a hole in the ground
         F#m        E
Where an old man of Aran
      D          A
Goes around and around
        F#m       E
And his mind is a beacon
       A           B
In the veil of the night
      F#m             E
For a strange kind of fashion
          D           A
There's a wrong and a right
          Bm     A     D     E    F#m
But he'll never, never fight over you

E     A         B
I got plans for us
C#m           D
Nights in the scullery
    Bm      G
And days instead of me
  F#m    E       A      B
I only know what to discuss
C#m     D            D#m  A#m
Oh, for anything but light
Bm   A   D        E    F#m
Wise men fighting over you

E        A      B
It's not me you see
C#m       D
Pieces of valentine
    Bm     G
And just a song of mine
   F#m       E       A    B
To keep from burning history
C#m        D            D#m A#m
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Bm   A   D
Wise men fold

E      F#m       E
Near a tree by a river
          A           B
There's a hole in the ground
         F#m        E
Where an old man of Aran
      D          A
Goes around and around
        F#m       E
And his mind is a beacon
       A           B
In the veil of the night
      F#m             E
For a strange kind of fashion
          D           A
There's a wrong and a right
          Bm     A     D     E    G
But he'll never, never fight over you

C     F       A#
I got time to kill
Am           D
Sly looks in corridors
  G       G7
Without a plan of yours
  E                  Am  Bm   C
A blackbird sings on bluebird hill
D             D7             A#  D#
Thanks to the calling of the wild
Cm   Dm    D#    F
Wise men's child

( Gm F A# C Gm F D# A# )x2

F      Gm        F
Near a tree by a river

And his mind is a beacon

In the veil of the night

For a strange kind of fashion
          D#          A#
There's a wrong and a right
          Cm     Dm    D#
But he'll never, never fight

Near a tree by a river
          A#          C
There's a hole in the ground

Where an old man of Aran

Goes around and around

For a strange kind of fashion
          D#          A#
There's a wrong and a right
          Cm     Dm    D#    F    Cm
But he'll never, never fight over you

Dm D#

F        Cm     Dm    D#    F    Gm
No he'll never, never fight over you
