Section 1:

D MajorD             G+G
Tell us all a story about how it used to be
D MajorD                 A augmentedA        D MajorD
Make it up and then write it down just like history
                   A augmentedA
About Goldilocks and the three bears nature in the crosshairs
  D MajorD              A augmentedA     D MajorD
And how we all ascended from the deep green sea
                       G+G
When it?s not too hot, not too cold, not too meek, not too bold
      D MajorD            A augmentedA     D MajorD
Where it?s just right and you have sunlight

Section 2: [6/8]

Then we?re home
    G+G  D MajorD
Finally home

Home in the land of the homeless, finally home
D MajorD   G+G             A augmentedA
 Oh, what are we going to do?
       D MajorD
I never did a thing to you
G+G A augmentedA     D MajorD       B minorBm
Time peaceful as a hurricane eye
G+G    A augmentedA      D MajorD
Peaceful as a hurricane eye

Section 1: [4/4]
 D MajorD           G+G
A augmentedA history of whispers, a shadow of a horse
D MajorD           A augmentedA      D MajorD
Faces painted black in sorrow and remorse
D MajorD            A augmentedA
White cloud, black crow, crucifix and arrow
  D MajorD
The oldest silence speaks the loudest
A augmentedA          D MajorD     G+G
Under the deep green sea, when speech becomes a crime
D MajorD                 A augmentedA     D MajorD
Silence leads the spirit over the bridge of time

Section 2.1:

[6/8] | D MajorD | E minorEm |
A7A7         G+G  D MajorD          E minorEm
Over the bridge of time, I?m walking with my family
    A augmentedA       G+G
And the road begins to climb
D MajorD            G+G
And then it?s, oh, Lord, how we going to pray
   A augmentedA         D MajorD
With crazy angel voices all night
    [7/8]E
Until it?s a new day

E MajorE
Peaceful as a hurricane
E MajorE
Peaceful as a hurricane
E MajorE
Peaceful as a hurricane eye
E MajorE
Peaceful as a hurricane
E MajorE
Peaceful as a hurricane
E MajorE
Peaceful as a hurricane eye
E MajorE
Peaceful as a hurricane eye

D MajorD                        C majorC  G+G
You want to be a missionary? You got that missionary zeal?
                         A augmentedA  D MajorD

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
           A augmentedA  D MajorD
She was baking a cinnamon pie
           C majorC     G+G
She fell asleep in a washing machine
         A augmentedA  D MajorD
