I got two strong arms. Blessings of Babylon, time to carry on, 

    F#1+8   G#1+8    A1+8   B1+8   C#1+8    D1+8       D#1+8  Bb1+8 
and try for sins and false alarms. Soul to america the brave.       

B1+8 C#1+8 D1+8 
Wise man save.  

[Refrain:]

E1+8   F#m       E/G#            A           B       
Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground, 

         F#m        E/G#       D          A      
where an old man of Erin goes around and around. 

        F#m       E/G#          A           B      
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night. 

      F#m             E/G#              D           A      
For a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right, 

          Bm     C#m   D     E    Gj7  C 
but he'll never, never fight over you.   

[Bridge:]

      F       Bb    Am7              D/F#      
I got time to kill.     Sly looks in corridors 

    G     F                E         E7       Am7      C     
without a plan of yours. A blackbird sings on bluebird hill. 

D             D/C            Bb   D# Cm   Dm   D#     F Bm  C#m D 
Thanks to the calling of the wild    wise mens child.   ---

      A1+8      B1+8 C#1+8         D1+8      B1+8   G1+8         
I got plans for us.  Nights in the scullery, days instead of me. 

  F#1+8     G#1+8 A1+8       B1+8 C#1+8   D1+8         D#1+8  Bb1+8 
I only know what to discuss.      Oh, for anything but light,       

B1+8 C#1+8 D1+8   E1+8 F#m  E/G# 
wise men fighting over you.

         A      B    C#m       D              Bm     G             
It's not me you see. Pieces of valentine with just a song of mine. 

   F#m       E/G#    A    B   C#m        D            D#m   Bbm 
To keep from burning history, seasons of gasoline and gold.

Wise men fold.
