Bm        A         G               D   F#m    G F#m
Days are long and nights are cold, the rivers run
Bm        A         G               D   F#m    G F#m
I'm swept away down distant paths, the road goes on
Em                     D        Db          D
From the halls of the free to the tower of torment
     G           Bm     G        Bm
Where treasures lie in mountains high

      A      G               D  F#m  G F#m
The silent fields of stars so far and wide
   Bm      A    G           D   F#m  G F#m
The oceans of infinity, the great divide
  Em             D            Db    D
In the heavens on high is a light so lonely
   G        Bm        G         Bm
The evening star that shines so far

    A         G              D   F#m       G   F#m
When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind
  Bm    A          G             D          F#m   G  F#m
I keep your memory in my mind, one day I'll repay in kind
Em               D             Db      D
For so long as I've gone and so far I've wandered
  G         Bm        G       Bm
The evening star has shone thus far

Bm     A       G               D  F#m   G  F#m
River rushing, waters wide, just north of there
Bm            A      G             D  F#m  G F#m
Oh would that I was home again and home was here
Em               D             Db      D
And the fire was warm and the wind would whisper
 G         Bm      G          Bm
You're home again, on roofs the rain

     A        G             D     F#m     G    F#m
When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind
  Bm       A       G           D           F#m    G  F#m
I keep your memory in my mind, one day I'll repay in kind
Em             D              Db        D
For so long as I've gone and so far I've wandered
  G         Bm     G         Bm
The evening star has shone thus far

    A         G             D     F#m    G    F#m
When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind
  Bm       A       G           D          F#m   G F#m
I keep your memory in my mind, one day I'll repay in kind
Em             D               Db       D
For so long as I've gone and so far I've wandered
 G          Bm       G      Bm
The evening star to me you are
