Cm
Once in a dream

                 Ab
Far beyond these castle walls

Cm
Down by the bay

                  Ab
where the Moonlit water falls

Cm                               Ab
I stood alone while the minstrel sang his song

Bb
So afraid I'd lost my soul

Cm                             Ab
There in the fog his song kept calling me

Cm                             Ab
Leading me on with its haunting melody

Cm                            Ab
Deep in my heart a voice kept echoing

                  Bb
I knew I'd soon be wandering
[Chorus]
Cm               Bb      Ab       Ab5 G5 F#5
Far beyond these castle walls

Bb                Cm                Eb5     Bb5
Where the distant harbour meets the sky

Cm                          Ab       Ab5 G5 F#5 Bb
There the battle raged like hell

Bb                          Cm            Ab
And every dove had lost its will to fly

Cm               B5      Ab      Ab5 G5 F#5 Bb5
Far beyond these castle walls

Bb                               Cm    Eb5 Bb5
Where I thought I heard Tiresias say

Cm                    Ab        Ab5  G5  F#5  Bb5
Life is never what it seems

Bb                          Cm
And every man must meet his destiny
