Subject: CRD: 'Wizard of the Worldly Game' by Fairport Convention
Wizard Of The Worldly Game
(Swarbrick/Nicol)
FAIRPORT CONVENTION
From Angel Delight, 1971
Intro:
Dm F Am G
Verse 1:
G C E Am
For seven years I've stood right here
Dm F G
And the flowers grow green by day
G C E Am
All for the yarns that I was told
Dm Bb Dm Am
I spread my arms when they grew cold
Dm F C
And warded off the rain
Chorus:
C G
The bigger the tree, the deeper the root
F C
The grass that is trodden underfoot
Am
Give it time
Dm F C
And it'll surely rise again
Dm F Am G
Verse 2:
I'm rocked by winds and I'm soaked by rains
And I'll bow and sometimes bend
Until I fall and crush the forms
Of a few small friends who stood through storms
And who will rise again
(chorus)
(guitar solo over verse and chorus chords)
Verse 3:
It's laughter? dust, the Derby's just
Redo? it or be done
Wild? to wind and wise to pain
Wizard of the worldly game
Treasoned into trust
(chorus)
(guitar solo over verse and chorus chords to fade)
If anyone knows the real lyrics, especially the third verse,
I would greatly appreciate someone sending them to me.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FAIRPORT CONVENTION tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
