(Intro) / Dm F C Dm / D F - C / Dm F C Dm / Dm A7 Dm - / (Verse 1) I'll tell you a tale of a brave and noble wanderer Who fell into a place not known by men for years A place underground older than time or longer Growing in our terrors and our fears. / Dm F C Dm / Dm F - C / Dm F C Dm / Dm A7 Dm - / (Refrain) He played a golden lyre , had a voice of the stars He treked the world by boat moving near and far Blessed by the gods, thousands heard his voice The world moved when he made that fabled choice / Am - G - / Am - C G / Am - G - / Am E7 Am - / (Verse 2, 3) He joined the ranks of a famous noble vessel Manned by a crew of fifty heroic men The son of a god men who hunted and wrestled Some of which were never seen again. He angered the gods and their vengeance slew his lover A deadly nest of snakes left her body cold He knew in his heart he could never love another And hatched a plan both foolish and bold (Refrain) (Instrumental) / Dm F C Dm / D F - C / Dm F C Dm / Dm A7 Dm - / / Am - G - / Am - C G / Am - G - / Am E7 Am - / (Verse 4, 5) He roamed the earth for years looking for an entrance That would take him to the darkness under the earth Braving deadly perils and a guardian immense To prove to the king and queen his worth He moved their frozen hearts with his beautiful song They granted him to leave with his lover and wife If he didnt look behind as he traveled along They would restore her soul and her life (Refrain) (Verse 6, 7) But Alas! Curiosity proved to be his downfall He tried to steal a glance to see if the gods spoke true She disappeared in seconds with a sorrowed haunting call Just as the earth’s green meadows were in view And so ends the tale of a brave and noble wanderer Who tried and failed to bring his love back to the sun The only chance to restore his true love he squandered And in that folly his life was undone. / Dm F C Dm / D F - C / Dm F C Dm / Dm A7 Dm - / DmA7 DmA7 DmA7 Dm /
