       Am           G 
And I think of you now 
       F           Em       Dm 
As a dream that I had long ago 
       C      F       G 
In a kingdom lost to time 
        Am         G 
In the forest of evening 
     F         Em        Dm 
The archer is bending a bow 
       C      F         G         E      
And I see you bring him bread and wine 


Other verse on the same model... 


Em            Am        G     Am     
Oh who would walk the stoney roads 
    G        Dm 
Of Merlin's time 
Em            Am    G         Dm    Am 
And keep the watch along the borderline 
Em            Am         G       Am 
And who would hear the legends passed 
    G        Dm 
In song and rhyme 
Em        Am      G        Dm       Am 
Upon the sheperd pipes of Merlin's time.
