[Verse]
F#m A
I was away when you came to me that day
E B
On the first of the final month
F#m A
Left in my place was the memory of my face
E B
From a time far more innocent and young
[Verse]
F#m A
Ten years ago, when I made the woods my home
E B
I was sick of the life I'd led
F#m A
I'm here on my own, though I never feel alone
E B
In the silence, all is said
F#m A E B (x2)
[Verse]
F#m A
Far from the shame of the sedentary game,
E B
I began to find truth in my task
F#m A
I'll never blame, for I'll never be the same
E B
In the wild, all lessons last
[Verse]
F#m A
Deep in the trees, where the beggar finds his peace
E B
In the arms of a knotted elm,
F#m A
I could reclaim what I knew of my old name
E B
And return to the head of the helm
[chorus]
F#m A
I was humbled by the stars,
E B
You were hollow from the start (x2)
A G# B G#
I left with nothing
A G# B G#
Life for the bluffing
A G# B G#
Fled to the forest
F#m
Northward bound
[chorus]
F#m A
I was humbled by the stars,
E B
You were hollow from the start (x4)
[break]
D A C# F#m (E)
D A C#
D A C# F#m (E)
D A C# C#
F#m A E B (x4)
[chorus]
F#m A
I was humbled by the stars,
E B
You were hollow from the start (x8)
[End]
F#m A
Here in the cold, I will live the life I chose
E B
As the Fellow in the North
