The Plainsman

the plainsman fairport convention from ’rosie’ 1973 another melancholic trevor lucas song capo ii Intro : C , F , G , F , C C F i come from the moor and the mountain G F C from the waterfall and streams F C i turned me back on the mountain track Am i’m walking in a dream C F C and every new horizon Am to me it seems the same C F and everywhere look old and bad G F C while travelling on the plain C , F , G , F , C thus no one rides this road with me a plainsman rides alone no welcome waits by a city gate no voice to call me home alone i came into this place and that is how i will go and all i learn is the season’s turn it’s all i need to know oh , the world is hung with silver tongues with good advice to give if you can’t show me how to die don’t tell me how to live the plainsman’s song , though it’s seldom long it’s more than meets the ear and all i believe is the falling leaves at the turning of the year
