D Ds4 D- D C---G------D
He was the wizard of a thousand years
D Ds4 D- D C--G---D
and I chanced to meet him one night, wandering.
C G C G
He told me tales, and he drank my wine.
D Ds4 D- D G D
Me and my magic man kinda feel fine.
He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire
and as he spoke I felt a keen desire
to free the world of its fear and hate
and help the people to feel free again
(Bridge)
Why dont we listen to the voices in our hearts
'cos then I know we'd find we're not so far apart
everybody's got to be happy, everyone should sing
for we know the joy of life is the peace that love can bring
So spoke the wizard from his mountain home.
The vision of his wisdom means we'll never be alone
and I will dream of that magic night
and a million silver stars that guide us with their light
Fade with repeated D/Ds4/D-, D, C, G, D, with echo...
Mostly partial chords are used:
D xx0232 (index, middle, ring)
Dsus4 xx0233 (drop pinky from D)
D- xx0230 (lift middle from D) (dunno what this is called?)
C x3201x
G 3200xx

A rank beginner, so bear this in mind...
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 URIAH HEEP 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.
