INTRO:

G C G C

G Am

Go first in the world, go forth with your fears

C G

Remember a price must be paid

Am

Be always too soon, be never too fast

C D

At the time when all bets must be laid

G C

Beware of the darkness, be kind to your children

G Em D

Remember the woman who waits

G F C G

And the house you live in will never fall down

C G D G C

If you pity the stranger who stands at your gate

G Am

When you're caught by the gale and you're full under sail

C G

Beware of the dangers below

Am

And the song that you sing should not be too sad

C D

And be sure not to sing it too slow

G C

Be calm in the face of all common disgraces

G Em D

And know what they're doing it for

G F C G

And the house you live in will never fall down

C G D G CGC

If you pity the stranger who stands at your door

G Am

When you're out on the road and feeling quite lost

C G

Consider the burden of fame

Am

And he who is wise will not criticize
