2x F Am C G

[Chorus]
        F           Am
May the winds carry forth
       C         G
My soul when I'm gone
        F            Am
May the harsh of the storm
      C          G
Never linger for long
        F          Am
May the birds ever fly
            C             G
Where their journey leads them
        F            Am
May the land and the skies
        C            G
Be ever blessed with freedom


[Verse 1]
Am            F              G          C
Come, gather 'round and I'll spin you a tale
       Am          F
One of tyranny, of humble dreams
    G         C
and those who prevail
   Am            F             G        C
It starts with a hopeful young bard and song
            F
Through his melodies
G                   Am
The wicked king, he wouldn't rule long


[Bridge]
  F          Am        C           G
A kingdom of isola  -  tion
      F        Am           C      G
Is as glorious as   a pri - son    Oh
       F          Am
With a feather of eagle
    C           G
The bard was entranced
     F         Am
As a sliver of freedom
  C            G
Before him, it danced


[Chorus]
      F          Am
"What beauty may lie
  C          G
beyond these walls?"
     F         Am
With reason to fight
    C               G
The king would soon fall
     F         Am
In a moment it came
  C        G
Desires to see
    F           Am
The clouds, the rain
       C         G
Entire lands set free


2x F Am C G


[Bridge]
    C        F       C        G
The time had come to face the king
   Em       F         C     G
In an accumulation of every-thing
        Em         F         C     G
Oh, the bard would shape the fu -  ture
         Em    F            C    G
With the me  - ssage of his last words


[Chorus]
       F            Am
May the winds carry forth
   C             G
My soul when I'm gone
        F            Am
May the harsh of the storm
      C          G
Never linger for long
        F          Am
May the birds ever fly
            C             G
Where their journey leads them
        F            Am
May the land and the skies
        C            G
Be ever blessed with freedom

        F           Am
May the winds carry forth
   C             G
My soul when I'm gone (My soul when I'm gone)
        F            Am
May the harsh of the storm
      C          G
Never linger for long
        F          Am
May the birds ever fly (As free as the night)
            C             G
Where their journey leads them (And back again)
        F            Am
May the land and the skies
        C            G
Be ever blessed with freedom


[Outro]
     F      Am          C         G
With free - dom  (la la laa la la laa)
       F         Am       C        G
(la la laa la la laaa) mhh
                         (la la la laa)
