Biography:
The Incredible String Band (sometimes abbreviated as ISB) was a psychedelic folk band formed in Scotland in 1966. The band built a considerable following, especially within the British counterculture, before splitting up in 1974. The group's members are musical pioneers in psychedelic folk and, by integrating a wide variety of traditional music forms and instruments, in the development of world music.

Intro

Verse I
Em
Just another rusty brother
D Dsus4 D Em
Seeing his old role replayed

Looking in the world like a broken mirror
G D Em
Seeing his old face displayed
They come and go, come and go

Why do you advertise goodbye
D G C G D
Living a lie will lay you low, what can I tell you, what can I sell you
Em
But the truth will make you high
Chorus
Am Em
Death is unreal that's the way I feel

There's more to be revealed
Am Em
Lovers and friends meet again and again
On the dear old

If not for the plan of the magic man who finally helped me out of the wood.
