CEDARS OF LEBANON
VERSE 1
G+G
A augmentedA long way from Pharoah's hand,
D MajorD C majorC G+G
and a quick step from the Promised Land,
G+G
a quick step from Palestine,
D MajorD C majorC G+G
and a heartbeat from this heart of mine:
C majorC BB
Rock-fall at the Wailing Wall,
D MajorD G+G
and the temple-keepers fly
C majorC
to where Time machines
BB
those great, green trees
D MajorD G+G
to a holy timber-land.
CHORUS
G+G C majorC G+G
I was raised in the shade
D MajorD D7D7
of the Cedars of Lebanon,
G+G C majorC G+G
and I've bathed in the bay
D MajorD A minorAm
where sailors burned the sand,
D MajorD A minorAm
then gave the glass to man
D MajorD G+G
and all his kind;
D MajorD A minorAm
past the sight of land,
D MajorD A minorAm
they rode on ships to Spain
D MajorD G+G
for what they'd find.
VERSE 2
G+G
Big towns, and your hearts are down,
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Dand your eyes burn-your heels get round.
G+G
Smoke's up, and the sky turns brown-
D MajorD C majorC G+G
there's a place you know, where your fancy grounds.
D MajorD A minorAm
No dreams on silver screens,
D MajorD A minorAm
they've found a place to hide:
D MajorD A minorAm
the Holy Land of gods and man
D MajorD G+G
is where your spirit flies.
CHORUS
G+G C majorC G+G
I was raised in the shade
D MajorD D7D7
of the Cedars of Lebanon,
G+G C majorC G+G
and I've bathed in the bay
D MajorD A minorAm
where sailors burned the sand,
D MajorD A minorAm
then gave the glass to man
D MajorD G+G
and all his kind;
D MajorD A minorAm
past the sight of land,
D MajorD A minorAm
they rode on ships to Spain
D MajorD G+G
for what they'd find.
