Time Table

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

       Ddim                         C         Dsus D  E
Though names may change each face retains the mask it wore.

Ab             Dbm6
A dusty table, Musty smells
Bbm                   Cm7         Fm7
Tarnished silver lies discarded upon the floor
Ab                Ebm                C#m  F#  B/F#
Only feeble light descends through a film of grey
     C#/G#     Eb
That scars the panes.
Ab                    Dbm6
Gone the carving, And those who left their mark,
Bbm                           Cm7       Fm7
Gone the kings and queens now only the rats hold sway
Ab                    Ebm          C#m F#   B/F#
And the weak must die according to nature's law
C#/G#     Eb
As old as they.
Cm              G/B
Why, why can we never be sure till we die
Bb                      F        Fsus F
Or have killed for an answer,
Cm             G/B
Why, why do we suffer each race to believe
Bb                      F       Fsus F
That no race has been grander
Bb       Bb6             Bbmaj7 Bb6  Gm6     D/A
It seems because through time            and space
       Ddim                         C         Dsus D  E
Though names may change each face retains the mask it wore.
