Intro (verse): Bm A F#m G A F#m Bm


Bm
Theres an old town wrought

With mystery of Tom
A
The poet and his muse
F#m
And the magic lake
G
Which gave a life
A F#m Bm
To the words the poet used


Bm
Now the muse she was his happiness
A
And he rhymed about her grace
F#m G
And told her stories of treasures
A F#m Bm
Deep beneath the blackened waves


Bm
Till in the stillness of one dawn
A
Still in its mystic crown
F#m G
The muse she went down to the lake
A F#m Bm
And in the waves she drowned

Chorus:

Em A
And now to see your love set free
Bm Em
You will need the witches cabin key
F#m
Find the lady of the light gone mad with the night
G F#m Bm
Thats how you reshape destiny


Bm
The Poet came down to the lake
A
To call out to his dear
F#m G
When there was no answer
A F#m Bm
He was overcome with fear


Bm
He searched in vain for his treasure lost
A
And too soon the night would fall
F#m G
And only his own echo
A F#m Bm
Would wail back at his call


Bm
And when he swore to bring back his love
A
By the stories he'd create
F#m G
Nightmares shifted endlessly
A F#m Bm
In the darkness of the lake

Chorus:

Em A
And now to see your love set free
Bm Em
You will need the witches cabin key
F#m
Find the lady of the light gone mad with the night
G F#m Bm
Thats how you reshape destiny


Bm
In the dead of night she came to him
A
with darkness in her eyes
F#m G
Wearing a mourning gown
A F#m Bm
Sweet words as her disguise


Bm
He took her in without a word
A
For he saw his grave mistake
F#m G
And vowed them both to silence
A F#m Bm
Deep beneath the lake


Bm
Now if its real or just a dream
A
One mystery remains
F#m
For it is said
G
On moonless nights
A F#m Bm
they may still haunt this place


[Solo in chorus]
