Title : Tales By: Uriah Heep From: The Magician's Birthday (1972)
AmEmG We told our tales as we AmEmG sat under mornin's sleepy AmEmG sky
AmEmG AmEmG
AmEmG With all the colours of the AmEmG sunrise shining in our AmEmG eyes
AmEmG AmEmG
FEmG One, then another with a FEmG story of yesterday's AmEmG lives
AmEmG AmEmG
FEmG or of a lover who had FEmG gone in a moment of AmEmG strife
[Pedal Steel Guitar solo over the same chords]
VERSE 2
AmEmG No thought of sleep ever AmEmG dwells upon the wise man's AmEmG mind
AmEmG AmEmG
AmEmG Some task or audience AmEmG stealing every moment of his AmEmG time
AmEmG AmEmG
FEmG Thus we have learned to live while FEmG mortal man lies waiting to AmEmG die
AmEmG AmEmG
FEmG How can we do what must be FEmG done in just one short AmEmG life?
BRIDGE

AmEmG AmEmG
CHORUS AmEmG And there you sit tomorrow's AmEmG child, so full of love so full of AmEmG life, but you must rise to meet the AmEmG day, lest you become another AmEmG tale, and there you sit tomorrow's ...(repeat CHORUS and FADE)
