[Verse 1]
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
I cross the green mountain, I sit by the stream
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
Heaven blazing in my head, I dreamt a monstrous dream
F# C#/F D#m7 G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
Something came up out of the sea
A#m F# G# A#m
Swept through the land of, the rich and the free
F# C# G#
[Verse 2]
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
I look into the eyes, of my merciful friend
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
And then i ask myself, is this the end?
F# C#/F D#m7 G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
Memories linger, sad yet sweet and I
A#m F# G# A#m
think of the souls in heaven who will meet
F# C# G#
[Chorus]
F# C#/F D#m7 C#
Altars are burning, with flames far and wide
F# C#/F D#m7 G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
The foe has crossed over from the other side
F# C#/F D#m7 C#
They tip their caps, from the top of the hill
D#m7 C#/F Cadd9 G#sus4 G#
You can feel them come, more brave blood to spill
[Verse 3]
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
Along the dim, Atlantic line
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
the ravaged land, lies for miles behind
F# C#/F D#m7 G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
The light's coming forward and the streets are broad
A#m F# G# A#m
All must yield to the avenging God
F# C# F# C#
[Chorus]
F# C#/F D#m7 C#
The world is old, the world is gray
F# C#/F D#m7 G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
Lessons of life, can't be learned in a day
F# C#/F D#m7 C#
I watch and I wait, and I listen while I stand
D#m7 C#/F Cadd9 G#sus4 G#
To the music that comes from a far-better land
[Verse 4]
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
Close the eyes of our captain, peace may he know
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
His long night is done, the great leader is laid low
F# C#/F D#m7 G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
He was ready to fall, he was quick to defend
A#m F# G# A#m
Killed outright he was, by his own men
F# C# F# C#
[Verse 5]
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
It's the last day's last hour, of the last happy year
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
I feel that the unknown world is so near
F# C#/F D#m7 G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
Pride will vanish and glory will rot
A#m F# G# A#m
But virtue lives and cannot be forgot
F# C# G#
[Verse 6]
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
The bells of leavening have rung
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
There's blasphemy on every tongue
F# C#/F D#m7 G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
Let 'em say that I walked in fair nature's light
A#m F# G# A#m
And that I was loyal to truth and to right
F# C# F# C#
[Chorus]
F# C#/F D#m7 C#
Serve God and be cheerful, look upward, beyond
F# C#/F D#m7 G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
Beyond the darkness of masks, the surprises of dawn
F# C#/F D#m7 C#
In the deep green grasses of the blood stained world
D#m7 C#/F Cadd9 G#sus4 G#
They never dreamed of surrenderin', they fell where they stood
[Verse 7]
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
Stars fell over Alabama, I saw each star
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
You're walkin' in dreams, whoever you are
F# C#/F D#m7 G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
Chilled are the skies, keen as the frost
A#m F# G# A#m
The ground's froze hard and the morning is lost
F# C# F# C#
[Verse 8]
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
D# letter to mother came today
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
Gunshot wound to the breast is what it did say
F# C#/F D#m7 G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
But he'll be better soon, he's in a hospital bed
A#m F# G# A#m
But he'll never be better - he's already dead
F# C# F# C#
[Verse 9]
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
I'm ten miles outside the city, and I'm lifted away
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
In an ancient light, that is not of day
F# C#/F D#m7 G#sus4 G# G#sus2 G#
They were calm, they were blunt, we knew 'em all too well
A#m F# G# A#m
We loved each other more than we ever dared to tell
F# C# Cadd9 G
