C   G   C   D
          I heard

       F       C        Ebmaj7
   the old man tell his tale

[Verse 1]

   Bb       Cm7            Fm7
   Tinker, alone within a storm

Eb            Bbsus4  Bb         Gm
   And losing hope he clears the leaves beneath a tree

Bb                  F
   Seven stones lay on the ground

     Cm                        Gm
   Within the seventh house a friend was found

            Dbmaj7                        Ab                     Eb
   And the changes of no consequence will pick up the reins from nowhere

   Sailors, in peril on the sea,

Eb             Bbsus4  Bb          Gm
   Amongst the waves a rock looms nearer, and not yet seen

Bb                 F
   They see a gull flying by

       Cm                            Gm
   The Captain turns the boat and he asks not why

            Dbmaj7                        Ab                     Eb

   Despair that tires the world brings the old man laughter

       Dbm              Gbm        D      Dbm    D     Dbm
   The laughter of the world only grieves him, believe him

   The old man's guide is chance

   Farmer, who knows not when to sow

Eb             Bbsus4  Bb         Gm    D      Gm
   Consults the old man clutching money in his hand

Dm                   Dm/G
   With a shrug, the old man smiled

Cm                           Cm7
   Took the money, left the farmer wild

            Dbmaj7                        Ab                     Eb
   And the changes of no consequence will pick up the reins from nowhere
