The Pearl

(início)

A                       E     A
O the dragons are gonna fly tonight
A                           E      A
They're circling low and inside tonight
F#m          D             A
It's another round in the losing fight
C#m  E                      A
Out along the great divide tonight
A                           E       A
We are aging soldiers in an ancient war
                      E          A
Seeking out some half remembered shore
F#m          D                  A
We drink our fill and still we thirst for more
C#m                   E                  A
Asking if there's no heaven what is this hunger for
D                             A
Our path is worn our feet are poorly shod
D                     A
We lift up our prayer against the odds
E                           D        A      E      A
And fear the silence is the voice of God of God of God
           D     A   D     A
And we cry Allelujah Allelujah
       F#m D A E A
We cry Allelujah
A                          E       A
Sorrow is constant and the joys are brief
A                             E      A
The seasons come and bring no sweet relief
F#m       D            A
Time is a brutal but a careless theif
C#m           E               A
Who takes our lot but leaves behind the grief
D                             A
It is the heart that kills us in the end
D                        A
Just one more old broken bone that cannot mend
E                      D        A    E     A
As it was now and ever shall be amen amen  amen
           D     A   D     A
And we cry Allelujah Allelujah
       F#m D A E A
We cry Allelujah
A                                   E       A
So there'll be no guiding light for you and me
A                           E      A
We are not sailors lost out on the sea
F#m            D             A
We were always headed toward eternity
C#m     E                A
Hoping for a glimpse of Gaililee
D                                A
Like falling stars from the universe we are hurled
D                           A
Down through the long loneliness of the world
E                        D          A         E         A
Until we behold the pain become the pearl the pearl the pearl
           D     A   D     A
And we cry Allelujah Allelujah
       F#m D A E A
We cry Allelujah
