I found myself grown
weary with the
world
Dm

So I
got into my car and
drove, not
very
far,
Em

Em

And
before the day was done I had
chased the
setting
sun
Em7
Am
To the
sea-cliffs where the breakers crashed and
curled.
I never knew how long it was I stood,
And I watched the seabirds fly and I heard their lonely cry
But at last I left the shore and the breakers' endless roar
And the path led back and through a little wood.

There I saw a man who wore a cloak of
grey

With a
bright sword by his side, and
swiftly he
did
ride
E7

Tall up
on a milk-white steed, but he
stopped and
spoke to
me

``Young
fool!'' he cried, ``Why wander back
this way?''
``There behind you are the cliffs that end the world
Where the dragons flame and fly in the endless empty sky
And the castle's ancient keep overhangs the vasty deep
And the Western Kingdom's banners are unfurled.
``For the tourney will be starting with the dawn
At the rising of the sun with a kingdom to be won.
We must ride and reach the walls before the darkness falls--''
Then he spurred his mount and quickly he was gone.

Then I watched him as he
vanished from my
sight
Dm

And I
longed once more to stand on the
cliffs that
end the
land

And I
wondered if I'd see endless
sky or
circled
sea
Em
Am
But I
turned away to face the falling
night.
