Belied your fort of lace
It's by the grace of me you never learned what I could see

version 2
The A-E5-D5 in the 1st part could be something like this:
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|------------------|
D|----6-------------|
A|---7---77-5-------|
E|-5---6------------|
or
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|------------------|
D|----6-------------|
A|---7---77-5-------|
E|-5---5------------|
