[Verse 1]
Em                   D                Em
   In a tower on the western shore,
                 Bm       C
A woman cries in pain,
                D
Outside a storm gathers,
     Em            Bm       Em
As a soul is born again.
              D
The wisdom of all the worlds,
Em                           Bm       C
Shines like the Sun from his eyes,
             D
His Father a God of the Earth,
          Em                        Bm
Holds his Mother in his arms as she dies.
 

[Chorus]
Em           D              C
Merlin am I, Merlin am I,
           D
I know the secrets,
       Em
Of the land and the sky,
D
Land and the sky,
           C
And you’ll hear my voice,
          D
Where the eagles fly,
          Em    D    C    D    Em
Merlin am I.

 
[Verse 2]
               D             Em
A tower to the High King,
                      Bm        C
Comes crashing to the ground,
                    D
His Druids know the answer,
  Em           Bm          Em
A sacrifice is found.
                   D
But the child sees deep in the Earth,
    Em                           Bm
Two Dragons are stretching their wings,
    C                        D
Two tribes will fight for to claim this land,
     Em                   Bm
Many die for the folly of Kings.

 
[Chorus]
Em           D              C
Merlin am I, Merlin am I,
           D
I know the secrets,
       Em
Of the land and the sky,
D
Land and the sky,
           C
And you’ll hear my voice,
          D
Where the eagles fly,
          Em    D    C    D    Em
Merlin am I.

[Interlude]
                     D
Listen little pig,
                      C
Little trembling one,
                  D                  Em
Under this blanket I find no repose.
                      D
Since the battle of Arderydd,
             C
I no longer care,
 
If the sky falls,
       D                Em
Or the sea overflows.

 
[Verse 3]
              D              Em
The forest is calling him,
                         Bm        C
From a field soaked with blood,
                   D
Where hundreds lie dying,
        Em             Bm        Em
All the people that he loved,
                   D
Now he runs in the shadows,
    Em                    Bm
And madness, the future reveals,
         C                    D
That the Island of Britain is Merlin’s Isle,
    Em            Bm
And he lives here still.

 
[Chorus]
Em           D              C
Merlin am I, Merlin am I,
           D
I know the secrets,
       Em
Of the land and the sky,
D
Land and the sky,
           C
And you’ll hear my voice,
          D
Where the eagles fly,
          Em    D    C    D    Em
Merlin am I.
