The picking pattern in this song can be a bit of a tongue twister at times. It's
pretty easy to hear but less easy to play.
I use my thumb on low E and D, index on G, middle on B, and ring on high E.

VERSE I:
Em C
Silently the wheel of life keeps on turning
Em C
Within our hearts it's flame forever is burning
Em D
So, we dance the whole day long,
C G
sing our sad and lonely song
Em D
A thousand years have come and gone
C G
Oh, sad is our day
D C G
Em
VERSE II:
Long ago in times now almost forgotten
our destiny of song and dance was begotten
So, we're waiting for the day
when someone will come to play
and sing and dance their lives away
Oh, sad is our day
