Pilgrims Progress Lyrics

PROCOL HARUM - PILGRIM'S PROGRESS (Fisher/Reid)
I sat me down to write a simple story
which maybe in the end became a song
In trying to find the words which might begin it
j13
I found these were the thoughts I brought along
At first I took my weight to be an anchor
and gathered up my fears to guide me round
but then I clearly saw my own delusion
aj13
and found my struggles further bogged me down
In starting out I thought to go exploring
and set my foot upon the nearest road
In vain I looked to find the promised turning
aj13
but only saw how far I was from home
Middle eight
In searching I forsook the paths of learning
and sought instead to find some pirate's gold
In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me
M d9
and still no hidden truths could I unfold
I sat me down to write a simple story
which maybe in the end became a song
The words have all been writ by one before me
We're taking turns in trying to pass them on
Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on
