[verse 1]

G           F              Am          G

Long ago I heard a tale I never will forget

 G                    F             C                  G

The time was in the telling on the bank the scene was set

  G                   F               Am               G

The sky was rolling blindly on, the daylight had not gone

 G                    F                   C                G

She washed her hair among the stones and saw what was to come

G F G G                      G F G G

         All this will pass

 

[verse 2]

G                    F                  Am             G

There will be blood among the corn and heroes in the hills

G                    F             C                     G

But there is more to come my boy before you've had your fill

G                  F                Am                   G

Men will come and rape the soil as though it were their own

G                           F            C                G

And they will bathe their feet in oil as I have bathed my own

G F  G                  G  F  G

        All this will pass

                  Dm Am C

All things must come

           Bb   C   E

Just as I tell you here

 

[verse 3]

G                    F             Am                G

Stones will stand together as if searching for the stars

G                      F          C                     G

And all come crashing down again before they reach too far

G                        F             Am             G

She turned to face the setting sun, I turned to walk away

G                       F             C                G

But then she called my name again and beckoned me to stay

G F  G                  G  F  G

        All this will pass

                  Dm Am C

All things must come

           Bb   C   E

Just as I tell you here

 

[verse 4]

G                   F               Am                   G

She told me of the famous sons who write their names in peace

G                  F                 C                G  Dm Am C

Yet be cut down before the time has come for our release

           Bb   C   E

Just as I tell you here

 

[bridge]

C                        Em

Even now I wait for the coming day

C                          Em

Even now she waits in the dawn

         G         Em             D                   Em

For the tales she tells, for the gifts that she will sell

         G         Em             D                Em

For the sight she knows, for a vision that still grows

          Em           C             Bm

With the dream in her eyes no one's seen

[verse 5]

G                   F                Am            G

I listened for so long that day that I can hardly tell

G                      F              C                 G

If what she said was heaven sent or brought to bear in hell

G                        F              Am              G

That men of hope would stand alone and still be cast a lie

G               F                C                G  Dm Am C

Just as Romans cast them on the day they were to die

                  G  F  G

All this will pass

                  Dm Am C

All things must come

           Bb   C   E

Just as I tell you here

 

[bridge]

C                        Em

Even now I wait for the coming day

C                          Em

Even now she waits in the dawn

         G         Em             D                   Em

For the tales she tells, for the gifts that she will sell

         G         Em             D                Em

For the sight she knows, for a vision that still grows

          Em           C             Bm

With the dream in her eyes no one's seen
