Verse 1:
G      D       C                 G
Here today the red sky tells his tale,
Em           Am                 Bb
But the only listening eyes are mine
         A
There is peace amongst the hills,
Cm                              G     C  D C
And the night will cover all my pride.
G          D       C                 G
Blest are they who smile from bodies free,
Em               Am        Bb
Seems to me like any other crowd
        Am            D
Who are waiting to be saved.
