C#m B E F#
Looking back on younger days the view stretched on for miles,
C#m B E F#
We charged into our futures with laughter and with smiles,
C#m B E F#
As we traveled blindly the road became so thick,
C#m B E F#
No chance to change direction and we've laughed until we're sick,
C#m B E F#
Now I keep company with wicked evil men,
C#m B E F#
My generosity's brimming but I'm still inclined to sin,
C#m B E F#
My friends think I am crazy and I know that may be so,
C#m B E F#
But I'm as happy with a penny as coffers full of gold ,
A G#m7
And so for all of you I say,
B F# G
Don't miss the forest for all the trees,
A G#m7
And don't ever question,
B F# G
Honor Among Thieves,
C#m B E F#
The undergrowth has parted now the path is easily read,
C#m B E F#
It's lined with all the doubters regretting all they've said,
C#m B E F#
God bless all the dreamers and those who lead with soul,
C#m B E F#
For how can you know virtue 'less you fought out of a hole,
A G#m7
And so for all of you I say,
B F# G
don't miss the forest for all the trees,
A G#m7
And don't ever question
B F# G
Honor Among Thieves,
C#m B
When you feel that you've lost your,
E F#
Do do bwee, do do bwee, do do bwee, do do bwee,
C#m B E F#
Wee, Wee do do do, Wee do do, do do,
C#m B
Just remember you have,
E F#
Your Skidalee do wow, Skidalee do wow, Skidalee do wow,
C#m B E F#
Skidalee do wow, Do do bwee, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!!!!
C#m B E F#
Trickle of a chuckle as laughter starts to pour,
C#m B E F#
Bells begin to jingle the trickles now a roar,
C#m B E F#
Pan floutist, cloven dancer, THE MISCHIEF HAS BEGUN,
C#m B E F#
Laugh with me if it's funny, laugh at me if it's fun,
A G#m7 B F# G
And I don't know St. Peter but I know he believes,
A G#m7 B F# G
There's a place in heaven for Jesters, Dreamers & Thieves,
