Intro: C F C F

Verse 1:
C
Round about the beacon we go
            F
Taking our time

Basking at fireflies
Dm          C
Singing the songs

That we already know
                  F
It’s part of the story been told round the fire

Of the sweet willow

Interlude: C F

D                F
And I will just follow her 
        D                        Fm
To the beacon of something of a home

In the sweet willow

Interlude: C F
    D               F
And we are forever young
    D                Fm     F
Our tale goes on and on

Chorus:
C
Take a breath

Take my hand

We’re on our sacred land
D
Feel the beating rhythm
       Fm
Of the heart beneath our feet

C
Stories can’t be captured and colonized

they never die
      F                                 Fm
So feel the spirit whisper through the trees

Like it’s just for me
C                    F
Ooohh ooohh oh oh oh oh
C                    F    Fm 
Ooohhh ohh ohh oh oh oh

Verse 2:
C
I have never wandered slightly off the path
         F
Could it be i wish to run away

And never turn my back
     C
And what may i find 
                            F
Could it be that i am not alone
            A               F
In this willow tree i call home

Will i look back on my life

Regretting the years on my own

(on my own)
Fm
On my own
      C       F 
On my own
                     C
I’ve always wanted a place
         F
To call home

Bridge:
C
Round about the willow i know 
          F
I’m never alone
                                       C
Friends of the forest are friends of my own

Sit by the stream tossing pebbles
    F                          Fm 
And hoping that time will slow down

By the sweet willow

Chorus:
C
Round about the beacon we go
            F
Taking our time 
                   C
Basking at fireflies

Singing the songs that we already know
                    F
It’s part of the story been told round the fire

It's part of the stories been told round the fire
                       C
