Fairport Convention é considerada a primeira banda inglesa de electric folk.

Wizard Of The Worldly Game (Swarbrick/Nicol)
FAIRPORT CONVENTION From Angel Delight, 1971
Intro: DmFAmG
Verse 1: GCEAm For seven years I've stood right here DmFG And the flowers grow green by day GCEAm All for the yarns that I was told DmBbDmAm I spread my arms when they grew cold DmFC And warded off the rain
Chorus: CG The bigger the tree, the deeper the root FC The grass that is trodden underfoot Am Give it time DmFC And it'll surely rise again
DmFAmG
Verse 2: I'm rocked by winds and I'm soaked by rains And I'll bow and sometimes bend Until I fall and crush the forms Of a few small friends who stood through storms And who will rise again
(chorus)
(guitar solo over verse and chorus chords)
Verse 3: It's laughter? dust, the Derby's just Redo? it or be done Wild? to wind and wise to pain Wizard of the worldly game Treasoned into trust
(chorus)
(guitar solo over verse and chorus chords to fade)
If anyone knows the real lyrics, especially the third verse, I would greatly appreciate someone sending them to me.
