[Verse 1]
Bm Bsus2 An old man by a seashore Esus4 Em At the end of day A G Gazes the horizon A Bm With seawinds in his face Bm Bsus2 Tempest-tossed island Esus4 Em Seasons all the same A G Anchorage unpainted A Bm | Bm And a ship without a name
[Verse 2]
Bm Bsus2 Sea without a shore Esus4 Em For the banished one unheard A G He lightens the beacon A Bm Light at the end of world Bm Bsus2 Showing the way Esus4 Em Lighting hope in their hearts A G The ones on their travels A Bm | Bm Homeward from afar
[Chorus]
G D A Bm This is long for-got-ten G D Em Bm Light at the end of the world G D A Bm Ho-ri-zon cry-ing G D Em The tears he left behind long ago

[Verse 3]
Bm Bsus2 The albatross is flying Esus4 Em Making him daydream A G The time before he became A Bm One of the world's unseen Bm Bsus2 Princess in the tower Esus4 Em Children in the fields A G Life gave him it all A Bm | Bm An island of the universe
[Verse 4]
Bm Bsus2 Oh, now his love's a memory Esus4 Em A ghost in the fog A G He sets the sails one last time A Bm Saying farewell to the world Bm Bsus2 Anchor to the water Esus4 Em Seabed far below A G Grass still in his feet A Bm | Bm And a smile beneath his brow
