[Verse 1]
[G]The[C]re'[G]s a[C] light beyond[G] these woods,[C]
Mary [G]Mar[C]garet.
Do you [G]think that we will go [C]there,
And [G]see what makes it shine,
Mary [C]Margaret?
It's almost morning, and
[G]we've talked all [C]night,[G]
You [D]know we've made big
plans for [C]ten-year-olds,
You You [G]You and [C]I.[G][C]

[Verse 2]
Have [G]you met my new [C]boy friend,
[G]Margaret?[C]
[G]His name is [C]John,
and he rides [G]my bus to school,
And he [C]holds my hand.
He's [G]fourteen, he's my older man.
But [D]we'll still be the best of friends,
The [C]three of us, Margaret, [G]John, [C]and I.

[Verse 3]
[G]Let's go to New[C] York City,
[G]Margaret![C]
We'll [G]hide out in [C]the sub[G]ways
And drink the poets' wine, oh,
But [C]I had John,
so you went [G]and I stayed behind.
But [D]you were home in time
for [C]the senior prom,
When [G]we lost John.
[C]The

[Verse 4]
[G]fan[Bm]tasies we plan,
[C]I'm living them now.
[Bm]All the dreams we sang
when [C]we knew how,
Well, [G]they haven't [C]changed.[G]
[D]There's never been two
friends like [C]you and me,
Mary Mar[G]garet.[C][G][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]It's nice to see you fam[C]ily growing,
Mar[G]garet.[C]
Your [G]daughter and your husband there,
[C]The[G]y really treat you right,
But we've [C]talked all night
And what about [G]the light,
[C]tha[G]t glowed[D] beyond
Our woods when [C]we were ten?
You were the ram[G]bler [C]the[G]n.
[Am]The

[Verse 6]
[Bm]fantasies we planned,
well, Maggie,
[C]I'm living them [Bm]now.
All the dreams we sang,
oh, we dam[C]n sure knew
How, but [G]I haven't c[C]hanged.[G]
[D]There'll never be two friends
like [C]you and me,
Maggie, [G]can't you [C]see?

[Verse 7]
There's a [G]light beyond your woods,
[C]Mar[G]y Margar[C]et.
[G]
