D MajorD


♫ Verse 1:

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


♫ Chorus:

   G+G   D MajorD     B minorBm  A augmentedA
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    G+G    B minorBm   A augmentedA
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
   G+G   D MajorD     B minorBm  A augmentedA
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    G+G            A augmentedA    D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh


♫ Verse 2:

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

♫ Chorus:

   A augmentedA   E MajorE     C# minorC#m  BB
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    A augmentedA    C# minorC#m   BB
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
   A augmentedA   E MajorE     C# minorC#m  BB
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    A augmentedA            BB    D MajorD  BB
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh


♫ Verse 3:

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


♫ Chorus:

   BB   F#F#    D#mD#m  C#C#
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    BB    D#mD#m   C#C#
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
   BB   F#F#    D#mD#m  C#C#
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    BB            C#C#   D#mD#m
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    BB            C#C#   F#F#
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh


♫ Outro:

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