Em B7 C Am
I was made in darkest night of chalky ash and children's fright
Em B7 Em
I do not think you know what you behold
B7 C Am
I was made of aching hurt of fairy tales and bloody dirt
Em B7 Em
I hope you do exactly as you're told
C Em
Siegfried and Saint George, Potter, Baggins, Beowulf
C B7
Were tempered in my forge, So I say to you and yours:
Am Em
All caught fire in the ivory tower
Am G
In the marble arches in the dust and darkness
Am B7 Em
And I have you, you're on my mind
Em B7 C Am
Once a mighty tree was grown, for you to know all that is known
Em B7 Em
I hope you hear exactly what I say
B7 C Am
And by your sword a branch came down, and where the blood fell to the ground
Em B7 Em
It is my cradle and there I must stay
C Em
And should ever you return, well I must confess my story
C B7
To be true, you will be burned, and I hope that you have learned
Am Em
All caught fire in the ivory tower
Am G
In the marble arches in the dust and darkness
Am Em
And all caught fire in the ivory tower
Am B7 Am
And I have you, you're on my mind
B7 Am
You're on my mind
B7 Em
You're on my mind
