  			Am                Em G 
We told our tales as we 
Am                 Em  G 
sat under mornin's sleepy 
Am              Em G 
sky 

( Am Em G ) (2x) 

Am                   Em G 
With all the colours of the 
Am              Em G 
sunrise shining in our 
Am              Em G 
eyes 

( Am Em G ) (2x) 

F                 Em   G 
One, then another with a 
F           Em G 
story of yesterday's 
Am          Em G 
lives 

( Am Em G ) (2x) 

F             Em  G 
or of a lover who had 
F           Em   G 
gone in a moment of 
Am          Em G 
strife 

Am                  Em G 
No thought of sleep ever 
Am              Em   G 
dwells upon the wise man's 
Am              Em G 
mind 

( Am Em G ) (2x) 

Am               Em G 
Some task or audience 
Am                    Em G 
stealing every moment of his 
Am              Em G 
time 

( Am Em G ) (2x) 

F                       Em   G 
Thus we have learned to live while 
F                  Em   G 
mortal man lies waiting to 
Am          Em G 
die 

( Am Em G ) (2x) 

F                  Em   G 
How can we do what must be 
F            Em  G 
done in just one short 
Am          Em G 
life? 

C#m 
And if you ask, then you should 
Ab 
know, if you still doubt you should be 
F 
told, it was not we that made it 
Ab 
so, it was by those who went 
  Am 
before... 

( Am Em G ) (2x) 

Am                  Em G 
And there you sit tomorrow's 
Am                        Em   G 
child, so full of love so full of 
Am                         Em   G 
life, but you must rise to meet the 
Am                    Em G 
day, lest you become another 
Am                        Em G 
tale, and there you sit tomorrow's
