[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
Walking in the woods one day
A
I met a man who said that he was magic
A
Wonderful things he said, pointed hat upon his head
C
He knew why people laughed and cried
A
And why they lived and why they die
[Verse 2]
C
Shadows followed him around
A
He walked the woods without a single sound
A
Golden eagles at his door, cats and bats played on the floor
C
Silver sunlight in his eyes
A
He charms his magic from the Eastern sky
[Verse 3]
C
Walking in the woods one day
A
I met a man who said that he was magic
A
Wonderful things he said, pointed hat upon his head
C
Scarlets flashing in his eyes
A
The wizard turned and melted in the sky
