[Verse 1]
Am Fmaj7 G C
Let me take you to the herding ground

Where all good men are trampled down

Just to settle a bet that could not be won
C G C
Between a prideful father and his son
[Verse 2]

Will you guide me now? For I can't see

The reason for the suffering and this long misery

What if every living soul could be upright and strong?

Well then I do imagine

And there will be sorrow no more

It's easy to imagine
