This Too
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 2nd fret
Key: Gb
[Intro]
E A B E B
C#m A B B
[Verse 1]
E A
In a distant land lived a mighty king
B E B
And he asked his men for a magic ring
C#m A B
That could serve him in both his misery and joy
C#m A
And so his servants searched, they searched far and wide
B E B
But no such ring did the servants find
C#m A B
They had given up, they were out of time and hope
[Chorus]
A E B
‘Til seeking solace in a wise man,
A E G#m
They were delivered from their terrible task
A B
How the servants’ hearts did swoon and sing
E B C#m B
As the wise man carved into a ring:
A B
“This too—This too shall pass”
[Turn]
E A B E B
C#m A B B
[Verse 2]
E A
So the mighty king was quite satisfied
B E B
With the wise man’s ring, though his foolish pride
C#m A B
Wouldn’t let the words sink into his mind just yet
C#m A
And as his kingdom grew, so the people cheered
B E B
And the ring’s whisper became hard to hear
C#m A B
While the wealth and health and fame kept fear at bay
[Chorus]
A E B
‘Til one bright morning in the courtyard
A E G#m
The king was standing to address the mass
A B
When the light did fall upon his ring
E B C#m B
And the king recalled the prophecy:
A B
“This too—This too shall pass”
[Instrumental]
Em C D G D
Em C B B
[Chorus]
C#m A E B
For not a stone would be left standing
C#m A E G#m
And every mountain’d be laid low at last
A B
But the king would bow as he greeted death
E B C#m B
And he’d sing out loud with his fleeting breath:
A A
“This too—
B
This too shall pass”
[Outro]
