Chords with lyrics

verse 1

D MajorD              A augmentedA
 On the crooked road that took me north
G+G           D MajorD
 And brought me home again
D MajorD              A augmentedA
 From the pit of writhing serpents
G+G          D MajorD
 Out to the lion's den
D MajorD               A augmentedA
 Where the labyrinth is lightless
B minorBm             F# minorF#m
 And the faithless wander crazed
G+G               D MajorD
 Let the light rise from the darkness
A augmentedA             D MajorD
 Let his name be praised

verse 2

D MajorD              A augmentedA
 From the sunrise of my childhood
G+G             D MajorD
 To its premature demise
D MajorD             A augmentedA
 From my mother's best intentions
G+G             D MajorD
 To my stepdad's seething eyes
D MajorD             A augmentedA
 From the hidden self-inflicted wounds
B minorBm            F# minorF#m
 That flowered in later days
G+G            D MajorD
 To the folly of their learning
A augmentedA             D MajorD
 Let his name be praised


verse 3

D MajorD               A augmentedA
 In the holes the worms have eaten
G+G              D MajorD
 Through all once-treasured things
D MajorD              A augmentedA
 From the wet mouth of the vulture
G+G            D MajorD
 To the red tips of his wings
D MajorD             A augmentedA
 In the dazed eyes of the penitent
B minorBm         F# minorF#m
 Emerging from the maze
G+G           D MajorD
 In his wordless explanations
A augmentedA             D MajorD
 Let his name be praised
