Genesis - White Mountain: chords

Dm                         F
Thin hung the web like a trap in a cage
     Gm                    A
The fox lay asleep in his lair
Fang's frantic paws told the tale of his sin
Far off the chase shrieked revenge

Chorus:
Gm                          Dm
Outcast he trespassed where no wolf may tread,
     Gm                       C
The last sacred haunt of the dead.
    Gm                          Dm
He learnt of a truth which only one wolf may know
      Gm                      C
The sceptre and crown of the king
Em                         Am
Howling for blood One-eye leads through the pack,
                  A
Plunging through forests and snowstorm

Steep rose the ridge, ghostly peaks climbed the sky
Fang sped through jungles of ice
Hard on his trail, One-eye drew from the pack -
An old hero conquered by none

Chorus:
Steep, far too steep, grew the pathway ahead
Descent was the only escape
A wolf never flees in the face of his foe
Fang knew the price he would pay -
One-eye stood before him
With the crown upon his head
Sceptre raised to deal the deadly blow

Fang, son of Great Fang, the traitor we seek
The laws of the brethren say this:
That only the king sees the crown of the gods
And he, the usurper, must die

Chorus:
Snarling he tore at the throat of his foe
But Fang fought the hero in vain
Dawn saw the white mountain tinted with red -
Never would the crown leave again
One-eye hid the crown and with laurels on his head
Returned amongst the tribe and dwelt in peace
