Oh I have lived for ages, I'm a thousand turns of times,
C F C
I'm a thousand wakes of springtime, and a thousand infant cries -
G C
Oh, a thousand infant cries...
C F C
I've got sixteen-hundred tigers now all tied to silver strings,
C F C
When they pull out in the pasture - Oh, the mighty heart will sing!
G C
Oh, the mighty heart will sing!
G Am
But I'll always be blamed for the sun goin' down with a song.
F C G C
But I'm the light in the middle of every man's fall.
C F C
I bend my arrows now in circles and I shoot around the hill,
C F C
If I don't get you in the mornin' by the evenin' I sure will,
G C
By the evenin'... Oh, I sure will!
C F C
Cause I'm the fire on the mountain you have lit up in your dreams,
C F C
But also water on the fountain, you can set my self on me,
G C
You can set my self on me.
G Am
But I'll always be blamed for the sun goin' down with a song.
F C G C
But I'm the light in the middle of every man's fall.

C F C
And no I never meant to say these words, but yes you ought to know,
C F C
That the dark ain't what I've always been, it will not ever go,
G C
No, it will not ever go.
C F C
For so I've lived a thousand years, a thousand turns of tides,
C F C
Just a thousand leaves in Autumn and a thousand ways to try
G Am F C G
Oh a thousand, it's just a thousand ways to try
C F C G C
Ways to try
