Subject: CRD: 'Wizard of the Worldly Game' by Fairport Convention
Wizard Of The Worldly Game
(Swarbrick/Nicol)
FAIRPORT CONVENTION
From Angel Delight, 1971
Intro:
Dm F Am G
Verse 1:
G C E AmFor seven years I've stood right here
Dm F GAnd the flowers grow green by day
G C E AmAll for the yarns that I was told
Dm Bb Dm AmI spread my arms when they grew cold
Dm F CAnd warded off the rain
Chorus:
C GThe bigger the tree, the deeper the root
F CThe grass that is trodden underfoot
AmGive it time
Dm F CAnd it'll surely rise again
Dm F Am G
Verse 2:
I'm rocked by winds and I'm soaked by rains
And I'll bow and sometimes bend
Until I fall and crush the forms
Of a few small friends who stood through storms
And who will rise again
(chorus)
(guitar solo over verse and chorus chords)
Verse 3:
It's laughter? dust, the Derby's just
Redo? it or be done
Wild? to wind and wise to pain
Wizard of the worldly game
Treasoned into trust
(chorus)
(guitar solo over verse and chorus chords to fade)
If anyone knows the real lyrics, especially the third verse,
I would greatly appreciate someone sending them to me.
