INTRO: Am  G  Am  G  Am  G  C  E  Am

                           G         Am
Nobleman walks through the doorway
                              G      Am
Bends to touch his daughter’s face
                            G        C
He reaches out and pulls her to him
                       E
Clasping her in warm embrace
    Am             G          Am
“Oh Emma, I cannot stay here
                          G    Am
The thunder calls me even now
                          G          C
Child, you need no one to save you”
              E           F
And Emma moans as he goes

                            G        Am
Cursed is the one who never ceases
                       G        Am
Favour for the poor and crazed
                                 G         C
You should see her daddy when he preaches
                E
Voices singing among the graves
    Am                             G          Am
Ah, heaven reaches out and makes a whisper
                        G     Am
For to wake the haunts alive
                         G             C
Emma feels and Emma knows the seasons
           E           F
Of the joys and the sighs
