I wound around, down through Friday Town, 
                      F                                  G
Where the road winds like a serpent on the ground,
F                      C                    F               C 
I climbed the hill, free-wheeled past the gate, 
F                 C                 F             C            G
Of the graveyard of the Heroes of the State.

Round every turn the soul is passed, 
D         F                D           C
Into the next world from the last,
                   F                G             C        G       C       Em 
From somewhere we'll never be again.

I see the street left behind by two young men, 
             F                                                 G
One returns, one's never seen again,
 F                      C                    F                    C 
At the house, you can hear the minstrels sing,
F                 C                 F                   C            G 
Melodies borne across the fields on fairy wings,

Round every turn the soul is passed,

I'm surrounded by the old,
 Em              F
Stories left untold,
 
Some things change,
         Em              C 
Some things will remain.
