   Bm           B2       Gm      
An old man by a seashore At the 
       Bb6/G
end of day
A4           G          A       
Gazes the horizon With seawinds 
        Bm
in his face
Bm           B2        Gm       
Tempest-tossed island Seasons 
       Bb6/G
all the same
A4            G             
Anchorage unpainted And a ship 
A             Bm
without a name
Bm             B2            Gm 
Sea without a shore for the 
            Bb6/G
banished one unheard
A4               G       A      
He lightens the beacon, light at
             Bm
 the end of world
Bm           B2           Gm    
Showing the way lighting hope in
        Bb6/G
 their hearts

The ones on their travels 
          Bm
homeward from afar

[Estribillo]

             G    D   A  Bm   G
This is for long-for-got-ten  
            D           Em  Bm
light at the end of the wor--ld
    G  D    A Bm        G      
Ho-ri-zon cry-ing  the tears he
         D          Em
 left behind long ago

    Bm             B2       Gm   
The albatross is flying Making 
       Bb6/G
him daydream
     A4         G          A     
The time before he became One of 
               Bm
the world's unseen
Bm               B2      Gm     
Princess in the tower, Children 
        Bb6/G
in the fields
A4               G          A   
Life gave him it all: An island 
          Bm
of the universe
Bm                B2        Gm  
Now his love's a memory A ghost 
        Bb6/G
in the fog
    A4                 G      
He sets the sails one last time 
          A               Bm
Saying farewell to the world
Bm             B2    Gm          
Anchor to the water Seabed far 
 Bb6/G
below
A4              G               
Grass still in his feet And a 
A                 Bm
smile beneath his brow

This is for long-for-got-ten  
G           D           Em  Bm
light at the end of the wor--ld
    G  D    A Bm        G      
Ho-ri-zon cry-ing  the tears he
         D          Em
 left behind long ago
