Mother Of Mysteries

C   F  C    G  C

                          F        C
Oh, I wish I believed, if only for you
                                 G
In a sweet ever after beyond the blue
      C                   F         C
In an eternal father, who after the fall
               Am         G
He cast us all out of the garden

    F                  Em
But I've found an Eden I can believe in
F             Am          G
Leavened with nothing but time

         F                        C
There is grandeur in this view of life
                                           G
Where one becomes many through struggle and strife
        C                       F            C
But the mother of mysteries is another man's call
                                  G          Am
Why is there something instead of nothing at all
C                                 F          C
Why is there something instead of nothing at all

                               F           C
If the devil's own chaplain is leading the prayer
                                                G
From a book that's been written with sorrow and care
         C                           F       C
Then his hand is indifferent, but it isn't unkind
          Am          G
No evil design in his sermon

    F                  Em
For I hear a chorus of those gone before us
F           Am       G
Scored upon pages of stone

         F                        C
There is grandeur in this view of life
                                           G
Where one becomes many through struggle and strife
        C                       F            C
But the mother of mysteries is another man's call
                                  G          Am
Why is there something instead of nothing at all
C                                 G          F   Em  F  G  C    G    C
Why is there something instead of nothing at all___

                              F            C
Oh, what an utter desert is a life without love
                                    G
Would that your blessing alone was enough
   C                       F            C
To abandon my doubt in the veil of your tears
                     Am         G
Oh, my dear, how the fabric has fallen

    F                  Em
For I've found an Eden I can believe in
F             Am         G
Free from the master's design

         F                        C
There is grandeur in this view of life
                                           G
Where one becomes many through struggle and strife
        C                       F            C
But the mother of mysteries is another man's call
                                  G          Am
Why is there something instead of nothing at all
    C                                 G          C
Oh, why is there something instead of nothing at all
