Cm Bb
O light the candle, John
G# Bb Cm
The daylight is almost gone
Cm Bb
The birds have sung their last
G# Bb Cm
The bells call all to mass
Cm Bb Cm
Sit here by my side
G# Bb Cm
For the night is very long
Cm Bb Cm
There's something I must tell
G# Bb Cm
Before I pass along
Cm Bb Cm G# Bb Cm
I joined the brotherhood My books were all to me
Cm Bb Cm
I scribed the words of God
G# Bb Cm
And much of history
Cm Bb Cm
Many a year was I
G# Bb Cm
Perched out upon the sea
Cm Bb Cm
The waves would wash my tears,
G# Bb Cm
The wind, my memory
Cm Bb
I'd hear the ocean breathe
G# Bb Cm
Exhale upon the shore
Cm Bb
I knew the tempest's blood
G# Bb Cm
Its wrath I would endure
Cm Bb Cm
And so the years went by
G# Bb Cm
Within my rocky cell
Cm Bb Cm
With only a mouse or bird
G# Bb Cm
My friend; I loved them well
Cm Bb
And so it came to pass
G# Bb Cm
I'd come here to Romani
Cm Bb
And many a year it took
G# Bb Cm
Till I arrived here with thee
Cm Bb Cm
On dusty roads I walked
G# Bb Cm
And over mountains high
Cm Bb Cm
Through rivers running deep
G# Bb Cm
Beneath the endless sky
Cm Bb G# Bb Cm - Cm Bb Cm G# Bb Cm
Cm Bb
Beneath these jasmine flowers
G# Bb Cm
Amidst these cypress trees
Cm Bb
I give you now my books
G# Bb Cm
And all their mysteries
Cm Bb Cm
Now take the hourglass
G# Bb Cm
And turn it on its head
Cm Bb Cm
For when the sands are still
G# Bb Cm
'Tis then you'll find me dead
Cm Bb Cm
O light the candle, John
G# Bb Cm
The daylight is almost gone
Cm Bb Cm
The birds have sung their last
G# Bb Cm
The bells call all to mass
