   E               B7          E              B7 
My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue, 
   E           B7            E            B7 
an everlasting vision of the everchanging view, 
  F#m7           B        A                B 
a wondrous woven magic in bits of blue and gold, 
  Amaj7       G#m7            F#m         B7 
a tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold. 
 
Emaj7         B9          Emaj7          B9 
Once amid the soft silver sadness in the sky 
      E             B9         E               B7 
there came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by 
   F#m7            B                A                  B 
he wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide 
      Amaj7        G#m7           F#m             B7       F#m7 B7 
and a coat of many colors, yellow-green on either side. 
 
   G                 D7sus  D7     Gmaj7        D7 
He moved with some uncertainty, as if he didn't know 
G                D7sus D7      Gmaj7             D7 
just what he was there for, or where he ought to go 
B                   Gb7              Abm7           B 
once he reached for something golden hanging from a tree 
        Emaj7               Gb 
and his hand came down - empty. 
 
E              B7         E              B7 
Soon within my tapestry along the rutted road 
   E             B7             E             B7 
he sat down on a river rock and turned into a toad, 
   F#m7               B           A                B 
it seemed that he had fallen into someone's wicked spell, 
      Amaj7           G#m7             F#m             B7 
and I wept to see him suffer, though I didn't know him well. 
 
F               C7            F          C7 
As I watched in sorrow, there suddenly appeared 
  F               C7        F               C7 
a figure gray and ghostly beneath a flowing beard 
   Gm7              C              Bb                  C 
in times of deepest darkness, I've seen him dressed in black 
       Bbmaj7        Am7            Gm              C7 
now my tapestry's unravelling; he's come to take me back, 
     Gm7             D9/sus4  Dm7/4 
he's come to take me back. 
 
F    C7    F    C7    F. 
 
D9/sus4 = x00553 
Dm7/4 = x00011
