Am                              F 
So long ago and far away 
Am                             F 
Although it seems like yesterday 
Am                            F 
With dreams of wisdom dancing 
Am                            F 
Elude now he must say 
Am                           F 
Hush the angel's song, the demons want to play 

Am                           F 
No longer with the castle choir (ahh) 
Am                           F 
His quest but quenched by dark desire (desire) 
Am                          F 
He trembled and he shook  
Am                          F 
As he climbed the canyon's wall 
Am                          F 
A weathered hand appeared, it would not let him fall 

C           G                Em                         F 
Into the night he sang the first lonely song of tears and pain 
C              G              Em                     F 
He played the first power chords about evil lords that reign 
C             G            Em            F 
Searchin' for answers, and finding only lies 
C            G            Em             F 
The first rocker found his voice, much to his surprise 


Am                 F 
"Hello there, weary traveler. 
Am                 F 
Hello, kind gypsy. 
Am                 F 
You must be hungry  
Am              F 
Ah, yes, I am.  
Am              F 
Please try my stew. 
Am              F 
Um, actually, wh- what's in this?  
Am               F 
It's made of delicious mutton. 
Uh- 
Am                  F 
To provide nourishment for your journeys. 
Am                 F 
It, uh, doesn't, doesn't look very, um- 
Am                 F 
I think it's pretty good stew. 
Am                F 
Oh, okay. Yeh, try some."  

Am                            F 
He longed for answers that she knew 
Am                          F 
(Longed for answers that she knew) 
Am                              F 
That weathered hag went on of nothing more than stew 
Am                             F 
And then he peeked inside the gypsy scrol 
Am                            F 
l Loosely translated, it just said "Rock and roll" 

C               G                   Em               F 
Into the night he sang the first lonely song of tears and pain 
C               G                   Em               F 
He played the first power chords as the skies began to rain 
C               G                   Em               F 
He know how the worlds collide when the angels call his name 
C               G                   Em               F 
They've never heard a darker song with such a sweet
