Lyrics and Chords
Intro: 0:00 Am | Am | Am 0:12 Am | F | Am | F 0:27 Am | F | G Verse 1: 0:39 Am Once in a dream F Far beyond these castle walls, Am Down by the bay F Where the moonlit water falls, 0:54 Am I stood alone F While the minstrel sang his song, G So afraid I'd lost my soul. Verse 2: 1:05 Am There in the fog F His song kept calling me Am Leading me on F With its haunting melody. 1:21 Am Deep in my heart F A voice kept echoing. G I knew I'd soon be wandering. Chorus 1: 1:32 Am F Far beyond these castle walls G Where the distant harbour Am Meets the sky, 1:47 Am F There the battle raged like hell, G!! And every dove had lost Am | Am Its will to fly. Instrumental: 2:07 Am - x4 2:19 Am F G Am!!! 2:33 Am - x4 2:48 Am | Am | C | C 3:04 Am | Am | F | F 3:19 Dm | Dm | Am | Am 3:34 F | F | G | E 3:49 Am | Am 3:57 Am | F | Am | F 4:12 Am | F | G Solo: 4:23 Am | F | Am | F 4:38 Am | F | G Chorus 2: 4:49 Am F Far beyond these castle walls G Where I thought I heard Am Tiresias say, 5:04 Am F Life is never what it seems, G!! And every man must meet Am | Am His destiny. Coda: 5:20 Am - x4 5:36 Am F G Am!!!
