I met the landlord, I kept my soul

And in of a man he was ashen and coal

Spoke quick, confusing, burdened me up
Left me for hollow when he'd

had his sup
Cm
I bore all his load til
Bb
the day that we met
Verse 2
Bb
And one glimpse of you bent
Cm
the load from my fret
To my frown, to my stern,
Bb
and then rocking me by
And a game and a cheer,
Cm
Gm

on the earth, in the sky

So said I to the landlord

And I'll wait for his answer
Verse 3
Cm
Til the load wasn't there and
Bb
it never had been
Cm
And all was before was so distant a dream
Til I saw in my friend what
Bb
had once been my foe
And the terrible landlord had all
Cm
Ab
Cm
Gm
in his tow
Cm
In his wake and the call of his
Bb
burning black ship
And the wind it was blown from
Cm
his proud blackene d lips
Verse 4

And I with my bellows cast

clouds through the sky

So that his awful flames, they might moisten and die

And then I with a light shone on
Bb
that which was there
As in light I did nothing,
Cm
as in days I did fare
And so days in my ears and
Bb
days all around
Verse 5
Bb
Proving death to the landlord
Cm
and all he abounds
And the night she shone, too,
Bb
until all that was now
Had been hoisted for viewing
Cm
in all of the crowd
I was glad in the light that crept
Bb
twixt new an d old
And then polished with all,
Cm
and so tender so bold

And I'll wait for his answer
Cm
So meek in that moment,
Bb
thee in error til all
Of my friends and their friends
Cm
saw in joy their loads fall
Verse 7
Cm
They fell in they fell out,
Bb
they fell near they fell far
They gave all in a shout and
Cm
put all to the stars
Lifting them as one load,
Bb
such a burdensome thing
Troubling nothing that lives now,
Cm
no and nothing it seems
Nothing that dances,
Bb
nothing that's moved
In the old spinning circle of all
Cm
Ab
that we proved
Verse 8

Though I wake in fear
