The Penalty

Intro: F  C Em F C Em F 

F                C      Em     F 
Like an ancient day and I'm on trial 
F                   C         Em          F 
Let them seize the way, this once was an island 
    G           C        F     C 
And I could not stay for I believed them 
G            C        F       C 
Left for the lights always in season

Impassable night in a crowd of homesick 
F            C         Em              F 
Fully grown children, you'll leave the lights 
     G              C          F          C 
Your family may not wait, Sir, keep on believing 
    G                C         F       C 
Our parents rue the day, they find us kneeling 


G                        C        F            C 
Let them think what they may, for they've good reason

Left for the lights always in season
