Bm                 Bm9
An old man by a seashore
 
Gm7             G6
At the end of day
 
A            G
Gazes the horizon
 
A                     Bm
With seawinds in his face
 
Bm                Bm9
Tempest-tossed island
 
G
Seasons all the same
 
A              G
Anchorage unpainted
 
A                     Bm
And a ship without a name
3x Bm
 
 
Bm             Bm9            Gm7            G6
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
 
A                 G       A
He lightens the beacon, light
 
                Bm
at the end of world
 
Bm          Bm9           Gm7              G6
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
 
      A               G       A           Bm
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
 
Bm        G   D   A   Bm
This is long-for got-ten
 
G             D         Em-Bm
Light at the end of the world
 
G     D   A  Bm
Hori-zon cry-un
 
G                    D         Em
The tears he left behind long ago
 
2x intro
 
Bm                 Bm9
The albatross is flying
 
Gm7             G6
Making him daydream
 
A                    G
The time before he became
 
A                     Bm
One of the world's unseen
 
Bm                Bm9
Princess in the tower
 
Gm7                G6
Children in the fields
 
A                 G
Life gave him it all:
 
A                   Bm
An island of the universe
 
Bm                Bm9
Now his love's a memory
 
Gm7              G6
A ghost in the fog
 
A                  G
He sets the sails one last time
 
           A             Bm
Saying farewell to the world
 
Bm              Bm9
Anchor to the water
 
Gm7           G6
Seabed far below
 
A                    G
Grass still in his feet
 
       A                 Bm
And a smile beneath his brow
 
Bm            G   D   A   Bm
This is for long-for got-ten
 
G             D         Em-Bm
Light at the end of the world
 
G     D   A  Bm
Hori-zon cry-un
 
G                    D            Em
The tears he left behind so long ago
