Chords in this song23
Verse 1
I sat me down to write a simple story
Which maybe in the end became a song
In trying to find the words which might begin it
I found these were the thoughts I'd brought a- long
Verse 2
At first I took my weight to be an anchor
I gathered up my fears to guide me round
But then I clearly saw my own delusion
And found my strugg-les further bogged me down
Verse 3
In starting out I thought to go exploring
And set my foot upon the nearest road
In vain I looked to find the promised turning
But only saw how far I was from home
Bridge
In searching I forsook the paths of learning
And sought instead to find some pirate's gold
In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me
Still no hidden truths could I unfold
Instrumental/Organ Solo
Verse 4
I sat me down to write a simple story
Which maybe in the end became a song
The words have all been writ by one before me
We're taking turns in trying to pass them on
B7/D# Em Am Am7/D G N.C.
Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on
