The picking pattern in this song can be a bit of a tongue twister at times. It's  
pretty easy to hear but less easy to play. 

I use my thumb on low E and D, index on G, middle on B, and ring on high E.

VERSE I: 
Em                                  C 
Silently the wheel of life keeps on turning 

Em                                      C 
Within our hearts it's flame forever is burning 

Em               D 
So, we dance the whole day long, 

C                G 
sing our sad and lonely song 

Em                    D 
A thousand years have come and gone 

C              G 
Oh, sad is our day 

D C G

VERSE II: 
Long ago in times now almost forgotten 
our destiny of song and dance was begotten 
So, we're waiting for the day 
when someone will come to play 
and sing and dance their lives away 
Oh, sad is our day
