C          Am
In a house on an island
           F                 C
there's a tale that must be told
        C                 Am
of our mysterious, Misty Mountains
       F                 G
Behind all the songs I wrote
          F                 C
lives and old man and his shadow
           G                Am
They are whistling day and night
        C                    G
for whatever, whatever it's worth for
           F                   C
They are whistling for you and I

      C            Am
On a ranch in the wildness
           F                 C
there's a song that must be sung
          C         Am
about a blindfolded angel
           F                       G
who never learned the right from wrong
              F                C
And though I don't know enough English
        G                  Am
to describe it's troubled mind
        C               G
But for one thing I am certain
         F                C
that it sings for you and I

        Dm              Am         G
And I tried so hard to figuring out
                           Am
But I guess that I'm only human
          Dm
I've been watching him, drawing him,
G                F                  G
analysing him in every way I could possibly think of

      C                   Am
But that does not really help me
            F              C
You got to sit back and enjoy
          C                      Am
You know, Ochrasy raised and betrayed him
        F               G
Now he sits there all alone
          F            C
With his soul and his legend
        G         Am
and his epic melodies
          C                   G
They are with us when we're crying
              F                C
and they are with us when we bleed

               C                   G
Yes, they are with us when we're crying
              F                C
and they are with us when we bleed
