Geryll Zehr - Man With The Broken Sword

	  		
verse 1 

E 
In the shadows 
E     F     
a man sits alone 
F    G 
The journey was endless  
G          A 
the months they passed slow 
C 
And here by the fire  
G                   F 
amidst laughter and talk  
F                       E 
the man with the broken sword  
G          D 
watches it all.  


D        F         
Man with a broken sword  
F            A 
travel worn, weary  
A        G      
my mind is afraid  
G                G   F   D 
but my heart cannot fear thee 


verse 2 
E 
In the shadows  
E    F 
deep in my mind 
F   G 
the theory of safety 
G        A 
the calm of the blind 
C 
and here on the border 
G             F 
of wilderness dark 
F                       E 
the man with the broken sword 
G          D 
lifts up a spark 

 
D         F 
Man with a broken sword 
F       A 
enemies gather 
A           G 
through the wastes of the north 
G              F       D 
The dark lords ride to battle. 
 

verse 3 
E 
In the valley 
E         F 
the river runs slow 
F    G 
and cold as the knife blade 
G            A 
that wounded me so 
C 
and the fear and the darkness  
G          F 
implacable foes 
F                    E 
reach out their cold hands to me 
G          D 
I will not go 

 
D           F 
Back to the shadowlands 
              A 
let the flood take them 
            G 
white manes on wild waves 
                 F   D 
bring forth fury and mayhem.  

D            F 
Dim lies the way ahead 
              A 
stones are my pillow 
        G 
but low though I lie tonight 
             F   D 
light brings the horizon.
