Wizard Of The Worldly Game

(Swarbrick/Nicol)

FAIRPORT CONVENTION

From Angel Delight, 1971

Intro:

Dm F Am G

Verse 1:

G C E Am

For seven years I've stood right here

Dm F G

And the flowers grow green by day

G C E Am

All for the yarns that I was told

Dm Bb Dm Am

I spread my arms when they grew cold

Dm F C

And warded off the rain

Chorus:

C G

The bigger the tree, the deeper the root

F C

The grass that is trodden underfoot

Am

Give it time

Dm F C

And it'll surely rise again

Dm F Am G

Verse 2:

I'm rocked by winds and I'm soaked by rains

And I'll bow and sometimes bend

Until I fall and crush the forms

Of a few small friends who stood through storms

And who will rise again

(chorus)

(guitar solo over verse and chorus chords)

Verse 3:

It's laughter? dust, the Derby's just

Redo? it or be done

Wild? to wind and wise to pain

Wizard of the worldly game

Treasoned into trust

(chorus)

(guitar solo over verse and chorus chords to fade)

If anyone knows the real lyrics, especially the third verse,

I would greatly appreciate someone sending them to me.
