[Verse 1]
A               G   D             G
In another times forgotten space
A               G          D               G
Your eyes looked from your mother's face
A              G       D                G
Wildflower seed on the sand and stone
A                  G        D            G
May the four winds blow you safely home
 
 
[Chorus]
A        G    D       G
Roll Away the Dew
A        G    D       G
Roll Away the Dew

Roll Away the Dew
A        G    D       G
Roll Away the Dew
 
 
[Solo]
A  G  D  G  x4
 
 
[Verse 2]
A             G         D          G
I'll tell you where the four winds dwell
A             G           D       G
In Franklin's tower there hangs a bell
A      G          D        G
It can ring, turn night to day
A           G                  D         G
It can ring like fire when you lose your way
 
 
[Chorus]
A        G    D       G
Roll Away the Dew
A        G    D       G

Roll Away the Dew
 
 
[Verse 3]
A            G          D          G
God save the child that rings that bell
A            G               D         G
May have one good ring baby, you can't tell
A            G          D        G
One watch by night, one watch by day
A          G                       D     G
If you get confused, listen to the music play
 
 
[Solo]
A  G  D  G  x4
 
 
[Verse 4]
A            G           D         G
Some come to laugh their past away
A            G            D            G
Some come to make it just one more day
A                  G        D      G
Whichever way your pleasure tends
A                 G            D            G
If you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind

A        G    D       G
Roll Away the Dew

[Verse 5]

In Franklin's tower the four winds sleep
A              G                    D      G
Like four lean hounds, the lighthouse keep
A              G           D         G
Wildflower seed on the sand and wind
A                G          D         G
May the four winds blow you home again
 
 
[Chorus]

Roll Away the Dew
A        G    D       G
Roll Away the Dew

You better roll Away the Dew

strum one 1/8th beat down on roll, then up/down 1/16th beats on away, then rest 1/8th or 1/16th depending on your groove mood I guess. Just try to mirror the vocal beats (rhythm) from the chorus with your strums, you should pick it right up.
