A G
In another time's forgotten space
A G
your eyes looked from your mother's face
A G
Wildflower seed on the sand and stone
A G
may the four winds blow you safely home
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew

A G
ill tell you where the four winds dwell
A G
In Franklin's tower there hangs a bell
A G
It can ring, turn night to day
A G
Ring like fire when you lose your way
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
God help the child who rings that bell
A G
It may have one good ring left, you can't tell
A G
One watch by night, one watch by day
A G
If you get confused just listen to the music play

Thats a rough draft of the solo, he does alot of bends on the 16
but i didnt catch everything so listen to the solo, but this is the area where he plays
A G
Some come to laugh their past away
A G
Some come to make it just one more day
A G
Whichever way your pleasure tends
A G
if you plant ice you're gonna harvest wind
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
In Franklin's Tower the four winds sleep
A G
Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep
A G
Wildflower seed on the sand and stone
A G
may the four winds blow you home again
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
You better roll away the dew
