(Main riff x4) B5
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...
