Blessed Are chords by Joan Baez

Artist: Joan Baez
Song: Blessed Are (3:06)

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

Bridge:
Em                 C
Rain will come and winds will blow
Am                   C
Wild deer die in the mountain snow
Em                 C
Birds will beat at heaven's wall
Am                     C          D
What comes to one must come to us all


Verse:
Am                C                G
For you and I are one way ticket holders

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

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