[Intro] Bb5 C5 D5 C5 Bb5 F/A G5 F/A Bb5 C5 D5 Bb5 C5 D5 C5 Bb5 F5 G5 F/A Bb5 C5 D5 [Verse]
        D5
Here I stand at the banks where the river of time feeds the sea

    Bb5
Oh, I delve into the vault

       F/A      C5
Of my mind, a memory

        D5
When a heart full of trust had not yet waned to a weak

        Bb5
Paling crescent in the sky

         F/A             C
Pouring down its fading beam
[Pre-Chorus]
G5                 A5
I stand here all alone

                   Bb5
I came here on my own

                       Bb5
To reginite the inner blaze
[Chorus]
G5          A5                 E5
Against the wind, against the grain

      C5      D5     G5
Open visor - arrows rain

    A5                E5   C5  D5
I'm me and I do it my way

G5         A5             E5
Don't you tell me what to be

            C5       D5     G5
Through my eyes you cannot see

    C5               D5
I'm me and I'm going my way

E5           C5              D5
Against the wind I'm going my way
[Verse 2]
          D5
I've been out for the grail they contest with hubris and hate

           Bb5
I've seen scarily faceless things

            F/A               C5
Where they scream, but never hear

         D5
Scraggy fingers they scratch over maps with all kingdoms displayed

     Bb5
The enticer never sleeps

           F/A            C5
Breathing doubt into your ear
[Pre-Chorus]
G5                 A5
I stand here all alone

                   Bb5
I came here on my own

                      Bb5
And you will not take hold on my creed
[Chorus]
G5          A5                 E5
Against the wind, against the grain

      C5      D5     G5
Open visor - arrows rain

    A5                E5   C5  D5
I'm me and I do it my way

G5         A5             E5
Don't you tell me what to be

            C5       D5     G5
Through my eyes you cannot see

    C5               D5
I'm me and I'm going my way

E5           C5              D5
Against the wind I'm going my way
[Bridge]
Am                           G
And if you don't like what I do

              Em    D    C
Then it's not made for you

           Am
And if you get exasperated

         F5
With what I will, or I may, or I say - it's my way!
[Solo] D5 C5 D5 C5 G5 D5 Bb5 F5 [Pre-Chorus]
            G5        A5        D5
A thousand stars melt with the sea

         Bb5      C5      F5
Elysian fields reveal to me

            G5     A5               Bb5   C5
This is the air I need to breathe - oh!
[Chorus]
G5          A5                 E5
Against the wind, against the grain

      C5      D5     G5
Open visor - arrows rain

    A5                E5   C5  D5
I'm me and I do it my way

G5         A5             E5
Don't you tell me what to be

            C5       D5     G5
Through my eyes you cannot see

    C5               D5
I'm me and I'm going my way

E5           C5              D5
Against the wind I'm going my way
