Progression:

 G A A G A A G A A G A A   B C#

Repeat this 8 times:

[x00231] [x02220]
  Dm/A       A

With verse:  [x33211]  [x30210]

  F/C      C
        Sisters by the wayside bide 
their time in quiet peace,
                await their place 
within the ring of calm.

  Dm/A     A
        Still stand to turn in 
seconds of release,
                await the call they 
know may never come.

 F/C       C
        In times of lightness no 
intruder dared upon
                to jeopardize the 
course, upset the run.

 Dm/A      A
        All was joy and hands were 
raised towards the sun,
                as love in halls of 
plenty overrun.

[xx0233] [xx0232]
  Dsus4      D
         Ah,  ah,  ah,  ah.

Then 4 times in the same pattern:

[113331]   [133211]
  Bb/F        F

4 times:
  Dm/A     A


  F/C      C
        Still in their bliss 
unchallenged mighty feast,
                unending dances 
shadowed on the day.

  Dm/A     A
        Within the wall their 
dauting formless keep,
                preserved their joy 
and kept their doubts at bay.

  F/C      C
        Faceless legions stood in 
readiness to weep,
                just turn a coin, 
bring order to the fray.

  Dm/A     A
        And everything is soon no 
sooner thought than deed,
                but no-one seemed to
 question anyway.

  Dsus4      D
         Ah,  ah,  ah, ah.

4 times:

       Bb/F     F

 Then the keyboard does a little 
roll which kinda goes like this:

   |:  A~      F G  :|  [Play it 
four times]

  F/C      C
        How keen the soaring 
hunter's eye prevails upon the land,
                to seek the 
unsuspecting and the weak.

  Dm/A     A
        And powerless the fabled 
sat, too slow to lift a hand,
                toward the foe that 
threatened them from the deep.

  F/C      C
        Who cares to dry the cheeks 
of those who saddened stand,
                adrift upon the sea 
of futile speech?

  Dm/A     A
        Wha??


  Dsus4      D
         Ah,  ah,  ah, ah.

4 times:

       Bb/F     F


 Then the keyboard does that little 
roll again:

   |:  A~      F G  :|  [Play it 
four times]


        The keyboard does another 
thing but I'll list the chords here:

   |:  F     G  Em  :|  [Play it 
three times]

   |:  A~      F G  :|  [two times]

   |:  F     G  Em  :|  [Play it

   |:  A~      F G  :|  [two times]

   |:  F     G  Em  :|  [Play it 
three times]

[Riff 2] with lyrics:

        Where was your word, where 
did you go?
        Where was your helping, 
where was your bow? Bow.

[Riff 1] x1

[Riff 2] w/ lyrics:

        Dull is the armour, cold is 
the day.
        Hard was your journey, dark 
was the way. Way.

[Riff 1] x1

[Riff 2] w/ lyrics:

        I heard the word, I couldn't
 stay, oh.
        I couldn't stand it another 
day. Another day, ay, another day,
        Another day.

Keyboard bangs out an A chord, then 
it plays a G for four measures 
[final
key switch to G], then A again for 
four measures.

 Play G:
        Touched by the timely 
coming, roused from the keeper's 
sleep,
 Play A:
        release the grip, throw down
 the key.
 Play D:
        Held now within the knowing,
 rest now within the peace,
 Play A:
        Take of the fruit, but guard
 the seed.

 Play D for four measures, then:

            [x04442]
   |:   A A   B/A~   :|   [Play this
 four times]

 Play G for four measures, then A 
for four measures.

 Play G:
        Held now within the knowing,
 rest now within the beat,
        take of the fruit but guard 
the seed.

 Play D for four measures, then:

 Play A:
        Take of the fruit but guard 
the seed.

 Play D for four measures, then:

      |:   A A   B/A~   :|   [Play 
this three times]

Repeat until fadeout:
                       [x05553]
      |:   A A   B/A~    C/A  B/A
