Song: Blessed Are (3:06)

Verse:
A minorAm       C majorC
Blessed are the one way ticket holders
   G+G
On a one way street
A minorAm       C majorC
Blessed are the midnight riders
                 G+G
For in the shadow of God they sleep
A minorAm       C majorC
Blessed are the huddled hikers
G+G
Staring out at falling rain
A minorAm        C majorC
Wondering at the retribution
     E minorEm    A minorAm        E minorEm
In their personal acquaintance with pain
A minorAm       C majorC
Blessed are the blood relations
    G+G
Of the young ones who have died
A minorAm       C majorC
Who had not the time or patience
  G+G
To carry on this earthly ride

Bridge:
E minorEm         C majorC
Rain will come and winds will blow
A minorAm          C majorC
Wild deer die in the mountain snow
E minorEm         C majorC
Birds will beat at heaven's wall
A minorAm           C majorC     D MajorD
What comes to one must come to us all


Verse:
A minorAm        C majorC        G+G
For you and I are one way ticket holders

On a one way street
A minorAm         C majorC   G+G
Which lies across a golden valley
     C majorC             G+G
Where the waters of joy and hope run deep
A minorAm         C majorC        G+G
So if you pass the parents weeping

Of the young ones who have died
A minorAm        C majorC
Take them to your warmth and keeping
  G+G        C majorC     D MajorD
For blessed are the tears they cried
A minorAm        G+G      D MajorD
And many were the years they tried
A minorAm        G+G   C majorC
Take them to that valley wide
C majorC             G+G
