[Instrumental] [Intro] [fingerpicked steel-string acoustic guitar, alternating bass pattern] [Main Theme] [syncopated melody on high strings, hammer-ons and pull-offs] [Outro] [final G major chord ring out] Intro (Arpeggiated Dm, soft drone) Verse 1 Dm He walks where the old trees bend Bb Through the places that never end F With a cloak full of whispered names C And a heart lit by hidden flames Dm Eyes like storms that never break Bb Every step makes the silence shake F Time don’t move where the wizard stands C It just slips through his open hands Chorus Bb He’s the wizard of ash and light F Turning dark into burning bright Dm Every shadow he leaves behind C Holds a truth you were meant to find Bb In the fire and the falling rain F He will call out your secret name Dm When the world feels cold and tight C He’s the wizard of ash and light Verse 2 Dm He speaks in a language old Bb Half in silver and half in gold F Every word like a turning key C Unlocking what you can’t see Dm He’s been lost and he’s been found Bb In the sky and beneath the ground F Every life that he’s wandered through C Leaves a trace in the morning dew Chorus Bridge Bb Was he born or was he made F From the echoes of plans that fade C Is he real or a fading spark Dm Just a light in the endless dark Bb If you follow, don’t lose your way F He don’t promise that you can stay C Every gift has a cost to pay Dm Every night meets another day Final Chorus Bb He’s the wizard of ash and light F Turning wrong into something right Dm Every soul that he dares to find C Leaves the weight of the world behind Outro Dm → Bb → F → C (fade)
