A G
In another time's forgotten space
A G
your eyes looked from your mother's face
A G
Wildflower seed on the sand and stone
A G
may the four winds blow you safely home

A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew

A g
ill tell you where the four winds dwell
A G
In Franklin's tower there hangs a bell
A G
It can ring, turn night to day
A G
Ring like fire when you lose your way

A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
God help the child who rings that bell
A G
It may have one good ring left, you can't tell
A G
One watch by night, one watch by day
A G
If you get confused just listen to the music play

(Thats a rough draft of the solo, he does alot of bends on the 16
but i didnt catch everything so listen to the solo, but this is the area where he plays)

A G
Some come to laugh their past away
A G
Some come to make it just one more day
A G
Whichever way your pleasure tends
A G
if you plant ice you're gonna harvest wind

A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
In Franklin's Tower the four winds sleep
A G
Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep
A G
Wildflower seed on the sand and stone
A G
may the four winds blow you home again

A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
Roll away ... the dew
A G
You better roll away the dew

Here is a tab of the main riff, ive been dissapointed not seing this existing on
the internet so i decided to make it so. This is just the main riff, and real
easy and fun to jam on :D

you can have some fun with this riff, like on the lower G note,

it was played like this mostly in the late 70s, mid 80s and 95, but any other
time they played it just a little different, like this(rapidly).

Thats basically it, this is just by ear, and it sounds right to me.
