       D                                  Em7    G AComin' home to a place he'd never been before
       DHe left yesterday behind him,
             Em7             C Ayou might say he was born again
               D                        Em7    G AYou might say he found a key for every door

            D                                     Em7    C AWhen he first came to the mountains, his life was far away

        D                              Em7                 C ABut the string's already broken, and he doesn't really care;

       D                             Em7  G Ahe saw everything as far as you can see
         DAnd they say that he got crazy once,
       Em7               C Aand he tried to touch the sun;
      D                              Em7   C AAnd he lost a friend but kept the memory

       D                           Em7                    C ANow he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams;
        D                            Em7  G Aseeking grace in every step he takes
          D                           Em7             C AHis sight has turned inside himself to try and understand;
      D                               Em7   G Athe serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
