I cross the green mountain, I sit by the stream
A#m7 G#/C C# D#
Heaven blazing in my head, I dreamt a monstrous dream
C# G#/C A#m7 D#sus4 D# D#sus2 D#
Something came up out of the sea

Swept through the land of, the rich and the free
C# G# D#

I look into the eyes, of my merciful friend

Memories linger, sad yet sweet and I

think of the souls in heaven who will meet

[Chorus]
C# G#/C A#m7 G#
Altars are burning, with flames far and wide
C# G#/C A#m7 D#sus4 D# D#sus2 D#
The foe has crossed over from the other side
C# G#/C A#m7 G#
They tip their caps, from the top of the hill
A#m7 G#/C Cadd9 D#sus4 D#
You can feel them come, more brave blood to spill
[Verse 3]
A#m7 G#/C C# D#
Along the dim, Atlantic line
A#m7 G#/C C# D#
the ravaged land, lies for miles behind

The light's coming forward and the streets are broad

All must yield to the avenging God
C# G# C# G#
[Chorus]
C# G#/C A#m7 G#
The world is old, the world is gray

To the music that comes from a far-better land
[Verse 4]

Close the eyes of our captain, peace may he know
A#m7 G#/C C# D#
His long night is done, the great leader is laid low
C# G#/C A#m7 D#sus4 D# D#sus2 D#
He was ready to fall, he was quick to defend
Fm C# D# Fm
Killed outright he was, by his own men
C# G# C# G#
[Verse 5]
A#m7 G#/C C# D#
It's the last day's last hour, of the last happy year
A#m7 G#/C C# D#
I feel that the unknown world is so near

Pride will vanish and glory will rot

But virtue lives and cannot be forgot

[Verse 6]
A#m7 G#/C C# D#
The bells of leavening have rung
A#m7 G#/C C# D#
There's blasphemy on every tongue
C# G#/C A#m7 D#sus4 D# D#sus2 D#
Let 'em say that I walked in fair nature's light
Fm C# D# Fm
And that I was loyal to truth and to right
C# G# C# G#
[Chorus]
C# G#/C A#m7 G#
Serve God and be cheerful, look upward, beyond
C# G#/C A#m7 D#sus4 D# D#sus2 D#
Beyond the darkness of masks, the surprises of dawn
C# G#/C A#m7 G#
In the deep green grasses of the blood stained world
A#m7 G#/C Cadd9 D#sus4 D#
They never dreamed of surrenderin', they fell where they stood
[Verse 7]
A#m7 G#/C C# D#
Stars fell over Alabama, I saw each star
A#m7 G#/C C# D#
You're walkin' in dreams, whoever you are
C# G#/C A#m7 D#sus4 D# D#sus2 D#
Chilled are the skies, keen as the frost
Fm C# D# Fm
The ground's froze hard and the morning is lost
C# G# C# G#
[Verse 8]
A#m7 G#/C C# D#
A# letter to mother came today
A#m7 G#/C C# D#
Gunshot wound to the breast is what it did say
C# G#/C A#m7 D#sus4 D# D#sus2 D#
But he'll be better soon, he's in a hospital bed
Fm C# D# Fm
But he'll never be better - he's already dead
C# G# C# G#
[Verse 9]
A#m7 G#/C C# D#
I'm ten miles outside the city, and I'm lifted away
A#m7 G#/C C# D#
In an ancient light, that is not of day
C# G#/C A#m7 D#sus4 D# D#sus2 D#
They were calm, they were blunt, we knew 'em all too well
Fm C# D# Fm
We loved each other more than we ever dared to tell
C# G# Cadd9 G
