The Penalty

[Intro] F  C  Em  F  C  Em  F

F               C      Em      F
Like an ancient day and I'm on trial
                  C         Em           F
Let them seize the way, this once was an island
   G              C      F     C
And I could not stay for I believed them
G            C       F        C
Left for the lights always in season

(F  C  Em  F  C  Em  F)

           C          Em       F
Impassable night in a crowd of homesick
                C           Em         F
Fully grown children, you'll leave the lights
     G               C         F         C
Your family may not wait, Sir, keep on believing
    G               C         F        C
Our parents rue the day, they find us kneeling


G                         C          F          C
Let them think what they may, for they've good reason

G             C        F       C      G
Left for the lights always in season

(C  F  C  G  C  F  C)
