I heard

the old man tell his tale
La# Dom7 Fam7
Tinker, alone within a storm
Re# La#4 La# Solm
And losing hope he clears the leaves beneath a tree
La# Fa
Seven stones lay on the ground
Dom Solm
Within the seventh house a friend was found
Do#maj7 Sol# Re#
And the changes of no consequence will pick up the reins from nowhere
La# Dom7 Fam7
Sailors, in peril on the sea,
Re# La#4 La# Solm
Amongst the waves a rock looms nearer, and not yet seen
La# Fa
They see a gull flying by
Dom Solm
The Captain turns the boat and he asks not why
Do#maj7 Sol# Re#
And the changes of no consequence will pick up the reins from nowhere

Farmer, who knows not when to sow

Consults the old man clutching money in his hand

With a shrug, the old man smiled
