Olde Village Lanterne

A                            D      A
Don't shed a tear for me,  I stand alone
A                                E
This path of destiny,  Is all my own
A                           D           F#m
Once in the hands of fate,  There is no choice
D       A             E              A
An echo on the wind,  You'll hear my voice…

A                              D            A
Some choose to fall behind,  Some choose to lead
A                                      E
Some choose a golden path,  Laden with greed
A                          D               F#m
But it's the noble heart,  That makes you strong
D      A            E                A
And in that heart,  I'm with you all along...

F#m             C#m           D          A
The old village lantern,  Is calling me onward
D        A         E
Leading wherever I roam,
F#m             C#m           D           A
The old village lantern,  A light in the dark,
D           A          E
Bringing me closer to home…

A                           D          A
So when you think of me,  Do so with pride
A                                 E
Honour and bravery,  Ruled by my side
A                    D       F#m
And in your memory,  I will remain
D       A         E          A
I will forever be within the flame………

B                          E               B
Now at the journey's end,  We've travelled far
E          B                           F#
And all we have to show,  Are battle scars
B                           E           G#m
But in the love we shared,  We will transcend
E           B         F#m      F#    G#m
And in that love, our journey never ends

B                          E         B
Don't shed a tear for me,  I stand alone
E            B                   F#m
This path of destiny,  Is all my own
B                           E           G#m
Once in the hands of fate,  There is no choice
E            B        F#             B
An echo on the wind,  You'll hear my voice……
F#m         F#              B
You'll     hear     my      voice (2x)
