listen to this song

/: Am D F G / Am - :/

 

One day, as I was wandering,

I saw something shimmering appear.

I stumbled and fell into it,

I blacked out, and everything went queer.

 

/ C D F G / C D C#dim B7 / Em - /

 

I became as you see me now,

But you stay the same somehow...

I will tell you, if you should stay,

How this world got to be this way...

 

/ Am Em D F / C# C B7 E7 /

 

Power of Gold, a dangerous gift,

Wishes fulfilled, dimensional rifts

Why did it have to turn me into a tree?

 

Once, this was a Golden Land,

Then a thief came, an evil man, and cruel.

He came to find the Pow'r of Three,

To wish for a world that he could rule.

 

Was the evil man's wish fulfilled?

What you see is the world he willed!

With the Triforce in evil's hands,

No escape from these shadow lands!

 

Power of gold, a dangerous gift

Wishes fulfilled, dimensional rifts

I only wish that Ganon would let us be!

 

The Triforce answers to the will

Of anyone, be they good or ill, and so...

If you could find the Pow'r of Three,

The spell would break, and we'd be free to go.

 

Is the world what you make of it?

What you give or you take from it?

Look and see what this world became,

You know just who's to blame!

 

Power of gold, a dangerous gift

Wishes fulfilled, dimensional rifts

Are you the one who's going to set us free?
