Chord/Tab song: Wizard of the Worldly Game

(Swarbrick/Nicol)

FAIRPORT CONVENTION

Intro:
[Dm] [F] [Am] [G]
Verse 1:
For [G]seven [C]years I've [E]stood right [Am]here
And the [Dm]flowers grow [F]green by [G]day
[G]All for the [C]yarns that [E]I was [Am]told
I [Dm]spread my [Bb]arms when [Dm]they grew [Am]cold
And [Dm]warded [F]off the [C]rain

Chorus:
The [C]bigger the tree, the [G]deeper the root
The [F]grass that is trodden [C]underfoot
Give it [Am]time
And it'll [Dm]surely [F]rise a[C]gain

[Dm] [F] [Am] [G]
Verse 2:
I'm rocked by winds and I'm soaked by rains
And I'll bow and sometimes bend
Until I fall and crush the forms
Of a few small friends who stood through storms
And who will rise again

(chorus)

(guitar solo over verse and chorus chords)

Verse 3:
It's laughter? dust, the Derby's just
Redo? it or be done
Wild? to wind and wise to pain
Wizard of the worldly game
Treasoned into trust

(chorus)

(guitar solo over verse and chorus chords to fade)

If anyone knows the real lyrics, especially the third verse,
I would greatly appreciate someone sending them to me.
