Once upon the Seas of Abyssinia
Em
A cultured man with rings within his ear-lobes
D G Em
Locked the door from which the sun arose
[Verse 2]
F
A man at noon with shadows on his cheek bone
Em
Singed for sleep to use him as a pillow
D G Em
His robes of chintz were melting in the snows
[Verse 3]
F
The stars with eyes embedded in his footprints
Em
Wept sweet words from his remembered childhood
D G Em
Poets of the skies look long and hard
[Verse 4]
F
Once upon the Seas of Abyssinia
Em
A cultured man with rings within his ear-lobes
D G Em
Locked the door from which the sun arose
