    Am                      Am 
Got woken in the night by a mystic golden light, 
 
   Fmaj7                  G    Am 
my head soaked in river water 
 
           Am 
I had been dressed in a coat of armor, they called 
 
  Am 
a horse out of the woodland, 
 
          Fmaj7             G         Am  
"Take her there, through the desert shores" 
 
 
C               D                   Bm  C 
 They sang to me "This is yours to we---ar, 
 
C                     D                    Bm  C  
 you're the chosen one there's no turning ba---ack... 
 
      Am    Am    Am    Am    Fmaj7      G  Am 
...now" 
 
 
N.C.                             N.C. 
The smell of redwood giants, the banquet for the shadows, 
 
           Fmaj7      G            Am 
horse and I, we're dancers in the dark 
 
Am                              Am 
Came upon the headdress, it was gilded dark and golden, 
 
    Fmaj7                     G               Am 
the children sang "I was so afraid, I took it to my head 
 
 
and pray." 
 
 
C               D                   Bm  C 
 They sang to me "This is yours to we---ar, 
 
C                     D                    Bm  C  
 you're the chosen one there's no turning ba---ack"   
 
C               D                   Bm  C 
 They sang to me "This is yours to we---ar, 
 
C                     D                    Bm  C  
 you're the chosen one there's no turning ba---ack" 
 
 
Am 
 There is no turning back 
 
Am 
 There is no turn 
 
Fmaj7                 G 
 There is no turning back 
 
Am 
 There is no turn 
 
N.C. 
 There is no turning back 
 
N.C. 
 There is no turn
