The Kingdom Has Already Come chords by Iris Dement

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
D Gm C F Bb

Verse 1:
 F       Bb
I stopped in the church to pray
   D7
It was the middle of the day
Db                  Bb
And I don't even know if I believe in God
    G  F
But I laid my soul on the table
       Gm          C7
And left that place believing I was able
  Bb      F       Eb       Cm F Bb
to pull back the curtain my old fears had drawn

Verse 2:
   F     Bb
I was out on the fourth of July
    D7               Eb
when I saw those kids I just had to cry
                     Bb
The whole town was blazing in the summers heat
           F
But out in front of a row of run down shacks
       Gm       C7
they had that fire hydrant uncapped
Bb       F           Eb     Cm Bb
Baptizing their bodies right there in the street

Chorus:
     Gm       Bb   Eb
There's a tree outside my window
       Bb     Gm
It sings when wind blows
           Bb     Cm
I have got water and fire I know sorrow
    Eb
I feel desire
       Bb     F           Eb Cm F Bb
And could it be that the kingdom has already come

Verse 3:
F     Bb       D7           Eb
We all see good and bad in everything that we have
                   Bb
But life is waiting just behind that veil
       F
if this will be loved and that will be hated
  Gm              C
The soul is left to struggle segregated
Bb       F          Eb      Cm Bb
Trapped in the harbor too weighted down to sail

Chorus:
     Gm       Bb
There's a tree outside my window
Db      Bb
It sings when wind blows
Gm         Bb
I've got water and fire
     Cm      Eb
I know sorrow I feel desire
       Bb     F       Gm     C7
Could it be that the kingdom has already come
       Bb     F        Bb    Eb Bb
Could it be that the kingdom has already come
