   Bm           Bsus2    G6            G*
An old man by a seashore at the end of day

Asus2       Gsus2      A/C#             B5*
Gazes the horizon with sea winds in his face

Bm             Bsus2   G6              G*
Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same

Asus2       Gsus2         A/C#           B5*
Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name

Bm            Bsus2         G6             G*
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard

   Asus2        Gsus2         A/C#          B5*
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world

Bm          Bsus2         G6            G*
Showing the way, lighting hope in their hearts

    Asus2         Gsus2       A/C#       B5*
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
[Chorus:]
            G    D  A Bm*  G            D          Em B5*
This is for long forgotten light at the end of the world

  G D   A  Bm*     G               D         Em
Horizon crying the tears he left behind long ago
(Main riff)
    Bm           Bsus2   G6            G*
The albatross is flying, making him daydream

    Asus2          Gsus2      A/C#             B5*
The time before he became one of the world's unseen

Bm              Bsus2  G6              G*
Princess in the tower, children in the fields

Asus2            Gsus2   A/C#             B5*
Life gave him it all, an island of the universe, ohh

Bm               Bsus2     G6           G*
Now his love's a memory, a ghost in the fog

   Asus2              Gsus2            A/C#            B5*
He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world

Bm            Bsus2  G6           G*
Anchor to the water, seabed far below

Asus2          Gsus2           A/C#             B5*
Grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow
[Chorus:]
            G    D  A Bm*  G            D          Em B5*
This is for long forgotten light at the end of the world

  G D   A  Bm*     G               D         Em
Horizon crying the tears he left behind long ago
(Main riff) So long ago... (Main riff) So long ago... (Violin instrumental) B5* [Chorus:]
            G    D  A Bm*  G            D          Em B5*
This is for long forgotten light at the end of the world

  G D   A  Bm*     G               D         Em
Horizon crying the tears he left behind long ago
(Main riff) So long ago... (Main riff) (Outro)
