[Verse 1]
G/D                Dm
Let my inspiration flow
              C   G/D     F/C
In token rhyme suggesting rhythm
                     C
That will not forsake me
            F/C                C F/C
Till my tale   is told and done
Am Em F/C G/D                        Dm
          While the firelight's aglow
               C         G/D         F/C
Strange shadows from the flames will grow
                            C
Till things we've never seen
              F/C Asus2/F F/C Asus2/F
Will seem familiar

[Verse 2]
G/D                    Dm
Shadows of a sailor forming
               C        G/D    F/C
Winds both foul and fair   all swarm
                  C
Down in Carlisle, he loved a lady
F/C              C F/C
   Many years ago
Am Em F/C G/D                         Dm
          Here beside him stands a man
          C             G/D   F/C
A soldier from the looks   of him
                            C
Who came through many fights
                F/C Asus2/F F/C Asus2/F
But lost at love

[Verse 3]
G/D                         Dm
While the storyteller speaks
         C       G/D           F/C
A door within the   fire creaks
               C
Suddenly flies open
          F/C                 C F/C
And a girl   is standing there
Am Em F/C G/D                          Dm
          Eyes alight with glowing hair
            C        G/D       F/C
All that fancy paints   as fair
                               C
She takes her fan and throws it
             F/C   Asus2/F F/C Asus2/F
In the lion's   den

[Verse 4]
G/D                           Dm
"Which of you to gain me, tell
               C         G/D   F/C
Will risk uncertain pains   of hell?
                  C
I will not forgive you
           F/C                    C F/C
If you will   not take the chance"
Am Em F/C    G/D                       Dm
         The sailor gave at least a try
              C       G/D    F/C
The soldier being much   too wise
                         C
Strategy was his strength
             F/C Asus2/F F/C Asus2/F
And not disaster

[Verse 5]
G/D                        Dm
The sailor coming out again
         C      G/D         F/C
The lady fairly leapt at him
                          C
That's how it stands today
          F/C              C F/C
You decide   if he was wise
Am Em
F/C G/D                            Dm
    The storyteller makes no choice
             C        G/D         F/C
Soon you will not hear   his voice
                        C
His job is to shed light
              F/C Asus2/F
And not to master

[Interlude]
Fmaj7
Since the end is never told
   C7
We pay the teller off in gold
   Fmaj7
In hopes he will come back
             E
But he cannot be bought or sold

[Terrapin Station Verse 1]
       A                 D
Inspiration move me brightly
E
Light the song with sense and color
A
Hold away despair
E         A                  E
More than this I will not ask
           C#m       Gmaj7        D
Faced with mysteries dark and vast
Dmaj7 E                    A       D   D#m7b5
      Statements just seem vain at last

[Chorus]
     E
Some rise, some fall, some climb
             A
To get to Terrapin

[Verse 2]
E        A                   E
Counting stars by candlelight
        C#m            D
All are dim but one is bright:
    E
The spiral light of Venus
       A
Rising first and shining best
E
Oh
A                     E
From the northwest corner
     C#m      Gmaj7    D
Of a brandnew crescent moon
Dmaj7 E                A       D D#m7b5
      Crickets and cicadas sing
  E
A rare and different tune
         D  A
Terrapin Station
Bm        A      E
In the shadow of the moon
            D A
Terrapin Sta_tion
Bm         A        E
And I know we'll be there soon

[Chorus]
E
 I can't figure out
If it's the end or beginning
But the train's put its brakes on
                              D
And the whistle is screaming: Terrapin

[At a Siding Verse 1]
D# D               D#  D
    While you were gone
      Gm                    D
These faces filled with darkness
Gm D      D#           D
    The obvious was hidden
D# D       Gm              D
    With nothing to believe in
    Gm                   D
The compass always points to Terrapin

 Sullen wings of fortune beat like rain

You're back  in Terrapin for good or ill again
    Gm           D   Gm D
For good or ill again
