Merlin's Time - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
Besides comfortable listening, Al Stewart's music is often a journey through history and mythology, due to a lifelong passion. He's credited the origin of the genre "historical folk-rock". This song is a lighter side of this, and from his ninth studio album "24 Carrots" (1980), co-written with Peter White, the leader of his new band at that time: Shot in the Dark.Am G F Em Dm and I think of you now as a dream that I had long ago C F G in a kingdom lost to time Am G F Em Dm in the forest of evening the archer is bending a bow C F G E and I see you bring him bread and wine Em Am G Am G Dm oh who would walk the stoney roads of Merlin's time Em Am G Dm Am and keep the watch along the borderline Em Am G Am G Dm and who would hear the legends passed in song and rhyme Em Am G Dm Am upon the shepherd pipes of Merlin's time
