Verse 1
(E minor) Cornwall and the harbor
Where witches went mad
more than (A major) once and
Until this day
In dreams at least
The lighthouse at lost Christa (B minor) bel
Squat and (G major) hugely (E minor) tilts
Upon (D major) the strand (E minor) where
granddad's (A major) house was (E minor) built
(D major) And having stood (G major) the test of time
(C major) The starry gale (D major) the bloody tide (G major)
Grandad's (E minor) house though
gaped with (A major) hooks
And (E minor) filled with (A major) books
(C major) Could stand no more until
A certain prophecy
(B minor) Once read - now stood
Be (B major) fore the world (B minor) fulfilled
(G major)

Verse 2
(A major) Now (A minor) of these books (A major) in
granddad's keep
Some of them were new but

(B minor) And the oldest was a scroll
A prophecy that read
When the riddle (A major) begins (G major)
The story (E minor) will end
August the (G major) first
Verse 3
(A major) 1892
And in the guise of destiny
(G major) (E minor) Grandad quit Corn (F sharp minor) wall

Verse 5
(E minor) Ships charmed and ordinary
Sailed the glidepath to the sun (A major)
And (A minor) when the sun (A major) proved false
As it always does
Some of them (A minor) would be (B minor) lost
And (A major) some would sail back (E minor) home
It was no star (D major)
But a (E minor) magna of (A major) illu (E minor) sion
(D major) I mean by (G major) that
The mirror found
(C major) In the chamber of (D major) jade
grown like a (G major) seed
Deep within the ground (E minor)
The mirror found (A major)

Un (B major) til his time had come
(G major)
Verse 7
Through (A major) tears and smiles (A minor)
(A major) The last domain
The rods of (A minor) broken crys (A major) tal
(B minor) On and off, and off again
Until his time had come
Late to the (A major) story that (G major) had been
But early to the riddle (E minor) not yet begun
Verse 8
(E minor)
August the (G major) first (A major) 1893
The charmed ship Plutoni (G major) a

And none too soon it seems (E minor)
Verse 9
That night (E minor) the captain's
granddaughter
Would celebrate her birthday
I've come a (G major) long way,
(D major) (E minor) said the captain
From lost Christa (D major) bel this night (A major)
(E minor) Accompanied by my dog familiar
To blast your rafter (E minor) s with my surprise!
(D major) (E minor) Granddaughter,
(G major) it's a foreign mirror
(B minor) Taken from the jungle by (E minor) crime!

Verse 11
(G major) When tables collapse
(D major) And floors have filled
(E minor) And the party's over, (D major) (E minor) it's all over
(G major) Sea- dogs and rockers
will (D major) dwell on doom
(E minor) I've warped the stuff of ground (D major)
(E minor) What seems to be is not
(G major) Behind closed eyes
(D major) Realize your sight
(E minor) Mine, granddaughter, proves a surprise
More light than sun
More dark than night then
More a snare (D major) than (E minor) lust
(D major)
