F#m | E   | A | B | F#m | E | D | A 
F#m | E   | A | B | F#m | E | D | A 
Bm  | C#m | D | E 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
F#m E      A          B
     I got two strong arms
C#m          D
Blessings of Babylon
B       G            F#m
Time to carry on and try
    E        A      B
For sins and false alarms
C#m    D          D#m  A#m
So to America the brave
Bm   C#m D
Wise men save

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
E      F#m       E
Near a tree by a river
          A           B
There's a hole in the ground
         F#m        E
Where an old man of Aran
      D          A
Goes around and around
        F#m       E
And his mind is a beacon
       A           B
In the veil of the night
      F#m             E
For a strange kind of fashion
          D           A
There's a wrong and a right
          Bm     C#m   D     E    F#m E
But he'll never, never fight over you

[Verse 2]
---------------------
      A         B
I got plans for us
C#m           D
Nights in the scullery
    B      G
And days instead of me
  F#m      E     A         B
I only know what to discuss
C#m     D            D#m  A#m
Oh, for anything but light
Bm   C#m D        E    F#m E
Wise men fighting over you

[Verse 3]
---------------------
         A      B
It's not me you see
F#m       E
Pieces of valentine
    D      A
And just a song of mine
   F#m          E    A    B
To keep from burning history
F#m        E            D   A
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Bm   C#m D
Wise men fold

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
E      F#m       E
Near a tree by a river
          A           B
There's a hole in the ground
         C#m        D
Where an old man of Aran
      B          G
Goes around and around
        F#m       E
And his mind is a beacon
       A           B
In the veil of the night
      C#m             D
For a strange kind of fashion
          D#m         A#m
There's a wrong and a right
          Bm     C#m   D     E    G  C
But he'll never, never fight over you

[Interlude]
---------------------
      F       Bb
I got time to kill
Am             D
  Sly looks in corridors
    G     F
Without a plan of yours
  Esus4     E        Am       C
A blackbird sings on bluebird hill
D                            Bb  Eb
Thanks to the calling of the wild
Cm   Dm    Eb   F
Wise men's child

No he'll never, never fight
