Em            B7               C              Am      
I was made in darkest night of chalky ash and children's fright
Em                  B7              Em
I do not think you know what you behold
               B7             C                Am   
I was made of aching hurt of fairy tales and bloody dirt
Em              B7               Em
I hope you do exactly as you're told


C                           Em  
Siegfried and Saint George, Potter, Baggins, Beowulf
C                          B7  
Were tempered in my forge, So I say to you and yours:


Am                     Em  
All caught fire in the ivory tower
        Am                   G
In the marble arches in the dust and darkness
      Am               B7     Em
And I have you, you're on my mind

Em            B7               C              Am    
Once a mighty tree was grown, for you to know all that is known
Em                 B7          Em
I hope you hear exactly what I say
                     B7                    C                    Am    
And by your sword a branch came down, and where the blood fell to the ground
Em                  B7           Em
It is my cradle and there I must stay


C                           Em
And should ever you return, well I must confess my story 
C                                     B7
To be true, you will be burned, and I hope that you have learned


Am                     Em
All caught fire in the ivory tower
Am                          G
In the marble arches in the dust and darkness
Am                         Em
And all caught fire in the ivory tower
Am              B7                 Am
And I have you, you're on my mind
       B7          Am
You're on my mind
B7                Em
You're on my mind
