Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Gentle Arms Of Eden


CAPO: 5th Fret


INTRO: D C G  D C G  C G C D

   D   C    G
On a sleepy endless ocean
     D   C    G
When the world lay in a dream
     C   G   C     G
There was rhythm in the splash and roll
  Am       C
But not a voice to sing
    D     C   G
So the moon fell on the breakers
    D    C     G
And the morning warmed the waves
    C   G    C    G
'Til a single cell did jump and hum
  Am        D
For joy as though to say

CHORUS:
      G
This is my home
      C  G
This is my only home
      C      Em         D
This is the only sacred ground that I have ever known
       G
And should I stray
    C  D   Em
In the dark night alone
C    G    Em   C   D    G
Rock me Goddess in the gentle arms of Eden


     D     C     G
Then the day shone bright and rounder
     D     C  G
'Til the one turned into two
    C   G   C    G
And the two into ten thousand things
  Am       C
And old things into new
  D    C   G
And on some virgin beach head
  D    C    G
One lonesome critter crawled
    C   G     C    G
And he looked about and shouted out
    Am       D
In his most astonished drawl


CHORUS:
      G
This is my home
      C  G
This is my only home
      C      Em         D
This is the only sacred ground that I have ever known
       G
And should I stray
    C  D   Em
In the dark night alone
C    G    Em   C   D    G
Rock me Goddess in the gentle arms of Eden


INSTRUMENTAL:


   D    C    G
Then all the sky was buzzing
    D     C   G
And the ground was carpet green
    C  G    C   G
And the wary children of the woods
   Am      C
Went dancing in between
    D   C   G
And the people sang rejoicing
     D      C     G
When the fields were glad with grain
   C    G  C    G
This song of celebration
      Am      D
From their cities on the plain


CHORUS:
      G
This is my home
      C  G
This is my only home
      C      Em         D
This is the only sacred ground that I have ever known
       G
And should I stray
    C  D   Em
In the dark night alone
C    G    Em   C   D    G
Rock me Goddess in the gentle arms of Eden


      D   C     G
Now there's smoke across the harbour
      D     C   G
And there's factories on the shore
    C    G    C     G
And the world is ill with greed and will
  Am      C
And enterprise of war
  D   C   G
But I will lay my burdens
    D   C    G
In the cradle of your grace
    C    G    C    G
And the shining beaches of your love
    Am      D
And the sea of your embrace


CHORUS:
      G
This is my home
      C  G
This is my only home
      C      Em         D
This is the only sacred ground that I have ever known
       G
And should I stray
    C  D   Em
In the dark night alone
C    G    Em   C   D    G
Rock me Goddess in the gentle arms of Eden
C    G    Em   C   D    G
