We didn’t like the first verse so much, so Bosh and Comyn re-wrote it.
Pagan Ways
by Damh the Bard
[G] Take a look at this blade so keen
[D] nothing is as what it seems
[Am] like ancient writings, [C] what does it all [G] mean?
elder brother, you’re never wrong
and I may not be as strong
but I’ll take that road through fields of green
( Chorus
Do you [D] dream of drinking from the grail?
that the [Am] truth is held within a tale
and [F] Arthur sleeps now
[C] ready to re- [G] turn?
Do you know that Jack lives in the Green
that things are never as they seem
and life is more than the money that you earn? )
Dianna rides her horse
but its just a tale of course
just an old story, of days gone by
but sit with me, on this hill
see how things become so still
and who is that lady
riding high?
Chorus
Springs come have you seen
those morris dancers on the green
its just a bit of fun
to pass the days
but there is magic in their dance
the seasons blessed them not by chance
and i raise my glass to pagan ways
