[Intro] Am F G Am Am G Dm F Am C [Verse]
               G
One day in the year of the fox

       Dm              Am
Came a time remembered well

       F                       G
When a strong young man of the rising sun

          Am                             C
Heard the tolling of a great black bell
[Verse]
               G
One day in the year of the fox

         E7            Am
When the bell began to ring

             F                 G
It meant the time had come for one to go

       Am
To the temple of the king
[Verse]
Dm                                           Am
There in the middle of the circle he stands, searching, seeking

     Dm                                        Am
With just one touch of his trembling hand, the answer will be found

Dm                                       Am
Daylight waits while the old man sings, "Heaven, help me"

    Dm                                         E7
And then like the rush of a thousand wings, it shines upon the one

        F       G      Am     F
And the day has just begun

                   G
The day has just begun
[Instrumental] Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm E7 F G Am F G Am C [Verse]
               G
One day in the year of the fox

       Dm              Am

       F                       G
When a strong young man of the rising sun

          Am                             C

[Verse]
Dm                                                 Am
Far from the circle at the edge of the world, he's hoping, wondering

Dm                                         Am
Thinking back on the stories he's heard of what he's gonna see

     Dm                                       Am
Back with the people in the circle he stands, giving, feeling

     Dm                                         E7
With just one touch of a strong right hand they know

       F      G       Am     F
Of the temple and the king

               G
Temple and the king
[Instrumental] Am F G Dm F Am C [Verse]

One day in the year of the fox
