Chords for Fairport Convention - (4/4) 30 June 1971. Live on Ainsdale Beach nr Southport, England.

[Dm] _ _ _ _ This [G] is a song which is called The Journeyman's Grace and Richard Thompson wrote this, who
used to be in our group.
Richard Thompson, cheers, cheers. _ _
It's about mysterious lines
of force which cross the country. _
And some people [Ab] think they belong [G] to the Martians and
some people _ think they belong to _ the Bronze Age [A] persons.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ And [A] he didn't do it.
He was a
scientist.
He didn't tell us who they [G] belonged to but I have a sneaking suspicion about the
central electricity generating board.
_ _ It's called The Journeyman's Grace. _

_ [C] Someone told me there's [F] a grace [A] that leads you straight from place [G] to place [C] and you always [F] leave the [A] road behind you.
[C] _ You don't need [F] a horse's shroud, [Am] just a [F] dowser and his [G] rod.
[C] Leave your mistress, she [F] won't [Am] leave behind [D] you.
Oh please [Gm]
journeyman, [G] help me on my way.
Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid. _ _ _ _

To a [F] circle [G] made of [C] stones, he takes me to the [F] mountains.
[A] _ _ _ _ [C] Steps of death where I [F] once was, _ [Am] I've [F] forsaken [G] to his heart.
[C] Let the air of [F] our new [A] mystery soar.
[D] Oh [G] please journeyman, help me on my way.
Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid.
_ Oh please journeyman, help me on my way.
Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid.
