The Trumpet Child

(início)

    B       Em     D
The trumpet child will blow his horn
      C                  Am    B
Will blast the sky till it's reborn
     B/E      Em            D
With Gabriel's power and Satchmo's grace
     C                 Am  B
He will surprise the human race
   B/E   Em          D
The trumpet he will use to blow
     C              C/A    B
Is being fashioned out of fire
     Em                  D
The mouthpiece is a glowing coal
     C                Am   B
The bell a burst of wild desire
     Em                    D
The trumpet child will riff on love
     C                 Am B
Thelonious notes from up above
     Em                D
He'll improvise a kingdom come
     C            Am        B
Accompanied by a different drum
    B/E   Em              D
The trumpet child will banquet here
      C             C/A   B
Until the lost are truly found
    Em                 D
A thousand days, a thousand years
     C             Am  B
Nobody knows for sure how long
      Em             D
The rich forget about their gold
     C                    Am    B
The meek and mild are strangely bold
    B/E  Em      D
The lion lies beside the lamb
     C                   Am          B
And licks a murderer's outstretched hand
     Em                   D
The trumpet child will lift a glass
     C                 C/A  B
His bride now leaning in at last
     Em             D
His final aim to fill with joy
      C                 Am   B
The earth that man all but destroyed
