Verse 2:
G+G
Vibrations rose in waves
D MajorD
From a sea of discontent
G+G
Dad used to talk about for days

Brought vultures to their eyes
G+G

I bet you hear it all the time
Verse 3:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
To which shepherd’s field did which angels descend?
G+G D MajorD
Or is blessedness revealed to those of us who best pretend?
G+G D MajorD
Some counterfeit ideas form ideas all their own
G+G D MajorD
I watched them spread for years to my unsuspecting bones
G+G D MajorD
And the nights my heart was tired you sang your saccharine song
G+G D MajorD
But when your mouth was quiet was the sweetest sound of all
G+G D MajorD
"Soon our ransomed souls will leave this age behind
G+G D MajorD
For streets of solid gold", I hear it all the time
