Intro: Ab A (x3)
Ab
C#m7 F#m7 B7 E7
Colonel Forbin stared up at the mountain, and wiped away the beads of sweat that
glistened on his brow
F#m C#dim Bbdim
His tired feet were buried in the quag___mire
Am7
And his bloodshot eyes saw all that lay between him and fulfillment of his
Ab A Ab
Vows
C#m7 F#m7 B7 E7
And he felt his fingers wrap around a knotted root, and pull his body upwards to a
seagreen mossy boulder
F#m C#dim Bbdim
And he dragged his weary carcass up the moun___tain
F#m G F#m G
And he climbed so slowly, he climbed so slowly,
A F F#m D
Ahead (hea-eaaaaaaa-eaaaaaaa-eaaaaaa) (x2)

half step up,
walking that up the piano for 4 measures and Trey follows)
C# D G
Suddenly he heard the crack of thun__der and the rocks began to crumble overhead
A C#
And tumble down the mountain to the dismal swamp that lay beneath the
D G
Jagged cliffs through which his path had led
A C# D G
And the earth began to quake beneath his feet and the mighty mountain changed before his eyes
A C# D
And he stood amidst a sea of dust and rocks and stones cascading down the mountain
G A C#m7 Bm7
And a thousand birds were headed for the sky, ohhhhhh
G A C#m7 Bm7 G A C#m7 Bm7
G
The sacred creed will be yours, and if you wait 'til tomorrow
the sacred creed
F#m G F#m G
Will be yours to devour, yours to seize
A F F#m D
And to obey (hea-eaaaaaaa-eaaaaaaa-eaaaaaa) (x2)

Ab
____When the
C#m7 n F#m7 B7 E7
Dust had cleared, the colonel lifted up his head, and was driven to his knees by a
blazing beam of light
F#m C#dim Bbdim
And he saw the silhouette that stood be-fore him
Am7 Ab
And he bowed in reverence, trembling in the shadow of the mighty legend's form
C#m7 F#m7
Icculus, the prophet, stood before his eyes
B7 E7 F#m7
Looking down on Colonel Forbin where he shuddered in the puddles and the muck
C#dim Bbdim
And he quietly addressed him
F#m G
And he spoke so slowly, he spoke so slowly,
A F F#m D
Ahead (hea-eaaaaaaa-eaaaaaaa-eaaaaaa)
A F F#m D
He said (hea-eaaaaaaa-eaaaaaaa-eaaaaaa)

C# D
Colonel Forbin, I know why you've come here, and I'll help you on your quest to gain the
G A C#
Knowledge that you lack, I call upon my faithful friend the mockingbird
D G
To find and seize the helping book and bring it to your shack
A C# D
G
And a tree of knowledge in your soul will grow, and the helping friendly book will plant
the seed
A C# D
But I warn you that all knowledge seeming innocent and pure becomes a deadly weapon in
the hands of
G A C#m7 Bm7
Avarice and greed, ohhhhhh
G A C#m7 Bm7 G A C#m7 Bm7 G
The sacred creed will be yours, and if you wait 'til tomorrow
the sacred creed
F#m G F#m G
Will be yours to devour, yours to seize
A F F#m D
And to obey (hea-eaaaaaaa-eaaaaaaa-eaaaaaa) (x2)
