[Verse 1]
D E
I got two strong arms
F#m G
Blessings of Babylon
Em C
Time to carry on
Bm
And try
A/C# D E
For sins and false alarms
F#m G G#m D#m
So to America the brave
Em D/F# G
Wise men save
[Chorus]
A Bm A/C#
Near a tree by a river
D E
There's a hole in the ground
Bm A/C#
Where an old man of Aran
G D
Goes around and around
Bm A/C#
And his mind is a beacon
D E
In the veil of the night
Bm A/C#
For a strange kind of fashion
G D
There's a wrong and a right
Em7 D/F# G A Bm A/C#
But he'll never, never fight over you
[Verse 2]

I got plans for us
F#m G
Nights in the scullery
Em C
And days instead of me
Bm A/C# D E
I only know what to discuss
F#m G G#m D#m
Oh for anything but light
Em7 D/F# G A Bm A/C#
Wise men fighting over you
[Verse 3]
D E
It's not me you see
F#m G
Pieces of valentine
Em C
With just a song of mine
Bm A/C# D E
To keep from burning history
F#m G G#m D#m
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Em D/F# G
Wise men fold
[Chorus]
A Bm A/C#
Near a tree by a river
D E
There's a hole in the ground
Bm A/C#
Where an old man of Aran
G D
Goes around and around
Bm A/C#
And his mind is a beacon
D E
In the veil of the night
Bm A/C#
For a strange kind of fashion
G D
There's a wrong and a right
Em7 D/F# G A C F
But he'll never, never fight over you
[Bridge]
A# Eb D
I got time to kill

Sly looks in corridors
C A#
Without a plan of yours

A blackbird sings on Bluebird Hill

Thanks to the calling of the wild

Wise mens' child
