[F]
[C] [F]
[Gm] [F] [Bb]
[F] My life has been a [C] tapestry [F] of rich and royal hue,
[Gm] [F] An everlasting [Gm] vision of [F] the [Bb] ever [F]-changing view,
[Gm] A wondrous [C] woven magic in [Gm] bits of blue [C] and gold,
[Bb] A tapestry [Am] to feel and see, [Gm]
impossible [C] to [D] [C] hold.
[F]
Once amid the [Bb] soft silver [F]
sadness in the [Bb] sky,
[F] There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by,
[Gm] He wore a torn [C] and pattered cloth [Gm]
around his [C] leathered hide,
[Bb] And a coat of [Am] many colors, [Gm] yellow, green on either [C] side.
[Gm]
[C] [Ab] He moved with some [Db] uncertainty [Ab]
as if he didn't [Db] know,
[Ab]
Just what he was [Db] there for, [Ab]
where [Db] he ought to [Ab] go.
[C]
Once he reached for something [F] golden hanging from [C] a tree,
And his hand [F] came down [Bb] empty.
[F] [Gm] [F]
Soon within my [Bb] tapestry [F]
along the [Gm] rutted road,
[F] He sat down [C] on a river rock [F] and turned [Bb] into [F] a toad.
[Gm] It seemed that he [C] had fallen into [Gm] someone's wicked [C] spell,
And [Bb] I went to [Am] see him suffer, [Gm] though I didn't know [C] him well.
[Gb]
As I [B] watched in sorrow, [Gb] there suddenly [B] appeared
[Gb] A figure, gray [B] and ghostly, [Gb] beneath a flowing beard.
[Abm] In times of deepest [Db] darkness, [Abm] I've seen him dressed [Db] in black.
[B] Now my tapestry's [Bbm] unraveling, [Abm] he's come to [Db] take me back.
[Abm] He's come to take [Db] me back.
