Kokepelli's Smile
Original tune
Capo 3
| G | Em |
| I met the piper | on the fairway, |
| Am | C |
| His smile Kokepelli's and his | eyes like Pan. |
| G | D |
| He played a pipe, | a flute a Jew's harp, |
| C | D |
| He held a pan-pipe | in his hand. |
| G | Em |
| He said "open ye, | ye gates of memory, |
| Am | C |
| Roll back the years at | my command." |
| G | Em |
| And opening gates of | horn and ivory |
| A | C |
| He smiled and took | my hand. |
refrain:
| G | D | C | D |
| Follow me, | oh follow me, | into memory and | dream. |
| G | C | D |
| Leave this, the | waking world be | hind.
|
| Em | D | C |
| It was never | what you wished to |
find. |
| Em | D | C | G | F |
| Follow me, | oh follow me, to | where all | truths are what they | seem. |
bridge:
| Am | C | F | G |
| Hither and | thither, | far beyond | reason, |
| Am | F | C | G |
| Near and far | seven | years have | gone, |
| Am | D | C | G |
| Now I am | the piper. | Am I the | survivor |
| Am | F | C | G |
| Playing my | pipes at the | gates of | dawn? |
| G | Em |
| And are you in | need of saving? |
| C | D |
| Take a pipe and | follow me. |
| G | Em |
| We'll make music, | shining laughter, |
| C | D |
| Play your tune | and you will see. |
refrain:
| G | D | C | D |
| Follow me, | oh follow me, | into memory and | dream. |
| G | C | D |
| Leave this, the | waking world be | hind.
|
| Em | D | C |
| It was never | what you wished to |
find. |
| Em | D | C | G | F |
| Follow me, | oh follow me, to | where all
| truths are what they | seem. |

Yes, it's another cyclical bard song, what's your point?
