Deep Purple - Listen, Learn, Read On: Guitar Chords

E           A
In ages past when spells were cast
      E
In a time of men in steel
                A
When a man was taught no special thing
E
It was all done by feel

Chorus:
 E  A# A D D#
So listen,
 E  A# A D D#
so learn,
 E  A#  A
so read on
            G        D

          A            E
Read the Book of Taliesyn

Hear the song of lovely Joan
Her sound so sweet and clear
In the courtroom of the King
Among children and the peers

Chorus

F#
"Now hear ye the words of Taliesyn
On the foaming beach of the ocean
In the day of trouble
I shall be of more service to thee
Than three hundred salmon

The hare he bounds across the page
Past castles white and fair
Past dreaming chessmen on their boards
With a fool's mate as a snare

Chorus

Three times I have been born
I know this from meditation
The bird he flies the distance
From pages two to six
Past minstrels in their boxes
To the waters of the Styx

Chorus:
So listen, so learn, so read on
You got to turn the page
Read the Book of Taliesyn

Don't take the pictures lightly
Listen to their sound
For from their coloured feeling
Experience is found

Chorus

All the sciences of the world
Are collected in my breast
For I know what has been, what is now
And what hereafter will occur
