Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I have been cruel and kind without knowing

I fell into silence overwhelmed by these days

 For I had been shown empty rulers,

 ruling all things

Thinking the world was mine to lay hold of

 I breathed in the promise of maiden and man

 But each had their own illusions

 to hold on to

I only want to be left to my own ways

The rulers have won leaving all things undone

I've stood in awe of the whole creation

Gathered among them was the morning

 Giving all its rest

Thinking the world was mine to be lost in

I ran with a freedom and sang in between

 For I had the path of wonder

 There before me

I only want to be left to my own ways

The rulers have won leaving all things undone

I've stood in awe of the whole creation

Gathered among them was the morning

Giving all its rest

I only want to be left to my own ways

The rulers have won leaving all things undone

I've stood in awe of the whole creation

Gathered among them was the morning

 Giving all its rest

 I only want to be left to my own ways

The rulers have won leaving all things undone

I've stood in awe of the whole creation

Gathered among them was the morning

 Giving all its rest
