There’s a lady who’s sure,

There’s a sign on the wall,

In a tree by the brook,

There’s a songbird who sings,

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

There’s a feeling I get,

When I look to the West.

Rings of smoke through the trees,
C G Am
And the voices of those who stand looking.

If we all call the tune,

And the forests will echo with laughter.

Verse 5:
Am G F G
And as we wind on down the road,
Am G F G
Our shadows taller than our souls,
Am G F G
There walks a lady we all know,
Am G F G
Who shines white light and wants to show,
Am G F G
How everything still turns to gold.
Am G F G
And if you listen very hard,
Am G F G
The tune will come to you at last.
Am G F
To be a rock and not a roll.
