Tom: C
C G
The wilderness is greener than you might imagine
F
And always greener still in fall
C G
Tears can be your fastest ticket
F
And a laugh won't slow you down at all
[Verse]
G C
The voice out there in the wilderness
F
It ain't always all alone
C G
Sometimes you find some company
F
Sometimes you just find bones
[Verse]
C G
Some folks are wandering looking for meaning
F
Some go looking just for lives
C G
Some think their future is told and
F
Some just go in to die
[Verse]
G C
But now I've been sent for to tell you what I've seen
F
Your rambler sneaks back in your palace
C G F
To respect his company of kings
[Chorus]
C G
So gather round the council table
F G
Lift your cups to sky and sing your
C G
Rake will do whatever able
F
To respect his company of kings
C G
I was listening to your converations
F
I was stepping out with mission clear
C G
To look upon all creation
F
And careful their joy is fear
[Verse]
G C
And come back you ever crazy
F
Willing to recall the dreams
C G
Of chains that turned into ashes
F
And ashes that turned into streams
[Chorus]
C G
So gather round the council table
F G
Lift your cups to sky and sing your
C G
Rake will do whatever able
F
To respect his company of kings
[Verse]
G C
You can't close your ears to the rambling fools
F G
Wise men's words are like wading pools
C G
Step into them nice and easy
F
And lay down and I know they're true
[Chorus]
C G
So gather round the council table
F G
Lift your cups to sky and sing your
C G
Rake will do whatever able
F
To respect his company of kings
