Firth Of Fifth 
 
B 
The path is clear 
 
A6/9           E/G# 
Though no eyes can see 
 
B   Em/G#            F#m7 F#m   Bsus4  B7 
The course laid down long  be   fore. 
 
 
E                F#m7/E (ugh!) 
And so with gods and men 
 
Bm/D              Cmaj7/D (ugh again!) 
The sheep remain inside their pen, 
 
        G                  E               Bbdim
Though many times they've seen the way to leave. 
 
This is exactly the same as above. They're written both together, one 
verse under the next. 
 
||: 
He rides majestic 
Past homes of men 
Who care not or gaze with joy, 
To see reflected there 
The trees, the sky, the lily fair, 
The scene of death is lying just below. 
:|| 
 
    E         A             Emaj7     A 
The mountains cuts off the town from view, 
 
        Bbm     Ebm          Bb7   Eb 
Like a cancer growth is removed by skill. 
 
       Eb/F F   G 
Let it be   re  vealed. 
 
Bb/C          Cm/F 
A waterfall, his madrigal. 
 
    E6             B 
An inland sea, his symphony. 
 
Instrumental passage before Undinal: E6 B C#m7/F# (ugh!) 
 
B 
Undinal songs 
 
A 6/9     E/G# 
Urge the sailors on 
 
B    Em/G     Asus4   D    C#m7 F# 
Till lured by sirens' cry. 
 
No music for these verses, they're listed only as lyrics. 
 
Now as the river dissolves in sea, 
So Neptune has claimed another soul. 
And so with gods and men 
The sheep remain inside their pen, 
Until the Shepherd leads his flock away. 
 
The sands of time were eroded by 
The river of constant change.
