E D#m
And you're living off what government's granted you:

There is a place within it that I have won.
G#m
And there is victory at sea.

And then there's the sun

Faithful readership of the Old Warden. We beg -

"No not another ode to the Garden! You've let the Book of Appeals pile up!"
B
So, Child of the East, it's time
