Tuning: Standard

♫ Intro:

D


♫ Verse 1:

 D       G   D
Upon a winding forest road
 D       G    A
I met a soldier far from home
 Bm      G D
I saw he was my enemy
   G        A   D
So I aimed at him and he at me
  D        G    D
Prepared was I, but loath to shoot
  D       G    A
And he, uncertain what to do
 Bm         G   D
A cold sweat formed upon my brow
    G         A     D
But we both kept rank and stood our ground
  D         G    D
And then, the curious thing occurred
  D        G  A
On wings arrived a tiny bird
  Bm       G   D
And troubled not by war or peace
  A       G  D
She sang for us a melody


♫ Chorus:

   G   D     Bm  A
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    G    Bm   A
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
   G   D     Bm  A
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    G            A    D  G A D
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh


♫ Verse 2:

 E        A   E
I did not move or look away
E        A     B
Lest my life, my foe would take
  C#m      A    E
Yet in his eyes, I saw his fright
    A      B    E
Just a boy like me afraid to die
  E        A   E
The meadowlark sang on and on
   E        A     B
Then more arrived and joined the song
  C#m     A   E
And as I held my rival stare
 A         B     E
A tremendous chorus filled the air
   E        A    E
Then in my heart, as clear as day
 E       A    B
I heard a gentle whisper say
  C#m      A   E
My son, if my disciple be
   A          B E
Show grace and love your enemy


♫ Chorus:

   A   E     C#m  B
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    A    C#m   B
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
   A   E     C#m  B
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    A            B    D  B
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh


♫ Verse 3:

   F#         B  F#
With swell of birds sung all around
F#      B   C#
Lowered I my rifle down
  D#m      B   F#
And as my foe took aim at me
 B          C#   D  E
I showed him yield on bended knee
  F#        B     F#
He faltered then and shook with fear
  F#        B    C#
And from his eye, he wiped a tear
  D#m      B    F#
His gaze was as a brothers bond
  B          C#   F#
And then, he turned and he was gone


♫ Chorus:

   B   F#    D#m  C#
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    B    D#m   C#
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
   B   F#    D#m  C#
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    B            C#   D#m
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    B            C#   F#
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh


♫ Outro:

  F#        B    F#
If I should live to see more days
 F#        B    C#
I pray the Lord to guide my ways
   D#m       B F#
With grace to love my enemy
  B        C#    F#
For grace, my Savior showed to me
   D#m       B F#
With grace to love my enemy
  B        C#    B
For grace, my Savior showed to me
