E     G#m
I got two strong arms
F#7
Blessings of Babylon
B
Time to carry on
    C#6
And try
             G#m
For sins and false alarms

So to America the brave
E
Wise men save
       G#m
Near a tree by a river

There's a hole in the ground
         C#
Where an old man of aran
     C#m
Goes around and around
        G#m
And his mind is a beacon
       F#
In the veil of the night
         B
For a strange kind of fashion
          C#6
There's a wrong and a right

But he'll never ever fight over you

G#m              F# 
Near a tree by a river

Where an old man of aran

Goes around and around
        G#m       F#7
And his mind is a beacon
       B7M     C#6
In the veil of the night
       G#m            F#
For a strange kind of fashion
          E7M         B
There's a wrong and a right

( G#m  F#7  B  C#6 )
( G#m  F#7  E  E7M )
( G#m  F#7  B  C#6 )

      G#m
I got plans for us
F#7M
Nights in the scullery
    B
And days instead of me
  C#6                  G#m
I only know what to discuss
F#              B
Oh for anything but light
E                  G#m
Wise men fighting over you

Near a tree by a river

There's a hole in the ground

Where an old man of aran
     E
Goes around and around

And his mind is a beacon

In the veil of the night

For a strange kind of fashion
