Growing Souls chords by Doug Paisley

Growing Souls
From the album Strong Feelings

INTRO:

G D G D G D Em

VERSE 1:

          C  G    D
It was a fa-tal blow
C        G        Em
Just to hear the bell
      G        D      C   C/B      Am
The crowd was up the side of the bluff
                  D
And the mountain fell
        C   G   D
Then a one-way ride
C             G        Em
Through the graveyard gates
      G        D           C     C/B   Am
The prettiest song you're never gonna hear
                D
Until it's too late

CHORUS:

           C
Nearer my God,
           G
Nearer my God,
           C
Nearer my God,
            Em
she came to me
               C
Said it don't matter
                 G  G/F# Em Am
how the story's told
  D                  Em
About these growing souls

INTERLUDE:

C G D Em C G D

VERSE 2:

           C      G       D
I broke through eternal skies
        C    G    Em
To the Caribbean Sea
G            D           C      C/B       Am
Busted his flaps at the foot of hope and roam
              D
The halfway tree
           C  G    D
Where the endless song
C           G          Em
is carried out on the wind
 G           D          C     C/B      Am
Deep in the night, the terror and the toll
         D
She came in

CHORUS:

           C
Nearer my God,
           G
Nearer my God,
           C
Nearer my God,
           Em
it came to me
               C
Said it don't matter
                 G  G/F# Em Am
how the story's told
  D                  Em
About these growing souls
