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 You got to turn the page 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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A#  D  D#  E  F#  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
