Lament

Gm         Cm              
The choice was mine, and mine 
   Gm
completely
           Eb      F            
I could've had any prize that I 
Cm
desired
           Gm             Cm      
I could've burnt with the splendor
        Gm        C#
 of the brightest fire
   Eb       F#                  Gm
Or else, or else I could choose time

Continues after the ad
  Gm   Cm            Gm
Remember I was very young then
       Eb         F          Cm
And a year was forever and a day
        Gm        Cm            
So what use could fifty, sixty, 
Gm      C#
seventy be?
  Eb                  F#          
I saw the lights, and I was on my 
Gm
way

            C#
And how I lived, how they shone
         Eb        F#         Gm
But how soon the lights were gone.
