[Ab]A carved oak table, [Dbm6]Tells a tale
[Bbm7]Of times when kings and queens sipped [Cm7]wine from g[Fm7]oblets gold,
[Ab]And the brave would lead their [Ebm]ladies from [C#m]out of [F#]the [B/F#]room
to [C#/G#]arbours c[Eb]ool.
[Ab]A time of valour, [Dbm6]and legends born
[Bbm]A time when honour meant much [Cm7]more to a ma[Fm7]n than life
[Ab]And the days knew only [Ebm]strife to tell ri[C#m]ght [F#]from [B/F#]wrong
Through [C#/G#]lance and s[Eb]word.
[Cm]Why, why can we [G/B]never be sure till we die
[Bb]Or have killed for an an[F]swer,[Fsus] [F]
[Cm]Why, why do we [G/B]suffer each race to believe
[Bb]That no race has been gr[F]ander [Fsus] [F]
[Bb]It seems [Bb6]because through [Bbmaj7]time [Bb6] [Gm6] and [D/A]space [Ddim]

[Ab]A dusty table, [Dbm6]Musty smells
[Bbm]Tarnished silver lies [Cm7]discarded up[Fm7]on the floor
[Ab]Only feeble light [Ebm]descends through a [C#m]film [F#]of g[B/F#]rey
That [C#/G#]scars the [Eb]panes.
[Ab]Gone the carving, And [Dbm6]those who left their mark,
[Bbm]Gone the kings and queens now [Cm7]only the r[Fm7]ats hold sway
[Ab]And the weak must die [Ebm]according to [C#m]natu[F#]re's [B/F#]law
[C#/G#]As old as [Eb]they.
[Cm]Why, why can we [G/B]never be sure till we die
