Steeleye Span – Unconquered Sun (Guitar)

     D        G           Bm      A
With solstice here, we'll celebrate

     G      D        A         D
This sacred time and have much cheer

              G          Bm         A
We will bring warmth, we will bring light

  G      D       A       D
Into the darkest time of year

          G        Bm     A
The mistletoe will be cut down

     G      D        A      D
With sickle from the sacred tree

            G       Bm     A
A kiss I'll give to you my love

  G         D          A       D
A pledge of friendship made to thee

    G       D        A       D
For greater than the will of man

   Em      Bm         E    A
Or want of that which can be done

   D         G         Bm       A
It falls and shines on where we stand

  G         D       A         D     Dsus4  D
Beneath the great unconquered sun

            G       Bm      A
For this is now our turning point

    G        D        A       D
The shortest day, the longest night

             G      Bm        A
We'll look unto the months to come

         G        D         A          D
When the sun will grow both strong and bright

         G          Bm          A
A versed crown, all decked with green

     G        D        A         D
That tells of winter's tales and mirth

                 G        Bm       A
Will bring great gladness and much joy

   G       D     A        D
To all who walk upon this earth

    G       D        A       D
And greater than the will of man

   Em      Bm         E    A
Or want of that which can be done

   D         G         Bm       A
It falls and shines on where we stand

  G         D       A         D     Dsus4  D
Beneath the great unconquered sun

             G       Bm     A
The servants and the lords alike

    G       D         A          D
And masters they will feast with slaves

              G       Bm     A
And give them freedom they desire

    G         D         A         D
Set thief and scoundrel free this day

              G         Bm       A
With candles, dolls and gifts of fruit

    G         D     A           D
And blackened faces through the street

                  G        Bm        A
We'll praise good fortune, raise our cups

    G       D        A        D
And drink a toast to king and queen

    G       D        A       D
Far greater than the will of man

   Em      Bm         E    A
Or want of that which can be done

   D         G         Bm       A
It falls and shines on where we stand

  G         D       A         G
Beneath the great unconquered sun

               G        Bm    A
We'll burn the lamps to ward away

    G       D      A        D
The spirits in the halls of those

             G      Bm          A
Whose houses all be decked with boughs

      G   D         A      D
Where evergreen and laurel grows

                  G           Bm     A
The earth's white crust where it lay down

     G       D     A         D
Does bow the oaken branch to fall

              G      Bm       A
'Tis solstice now, account ye sins

  G       D       A       D
Repent ye beggars one and all

    G       D        A       D
For greater than the will of man

   Em      Bm         E    A
Or want of that which can be done

   D         G         Bm       A
It falls and shines on where we stand

  G         D       A         D
Beneath the great unconquered sun

    G       D        A       D
For greater than the will of man

   Em      Bm         E    A
Or want of that which can be done

   D         G         Bm       A
It falls and shines on where we stand

  G         D       A         G
Beneath the great unconquered sun

   D         G         Bm       A
It falls and shines on where we stand

  G         D       A         D
Beneath the great unconquered sun
