D MajorD G+G
In the burning light of dawn
E minorEm D MajorD
In the stillness of the morning
G+G G+G D MajorD
He held her close he kissed her eyes
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Under a blanket of living skies.
D MajorD G+G
They were lovers all through school
E minorEm D MajorD
They always were together
G+G G+G D MajorD
And on her hand a golden ring
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Within which sat forever.
D MajorD G+G
But a young man's heart is brave
D MajorD G+G
The same brave boy she wed
E minorEm D MajorD
Has gone away in uniform
G+G C majorC
Sleeps in a soldier’s bed.
D MajorD G+G
In the colors of the East
E minorEm C majorC
In the blazing light of morning
G+G G+G D MajorD
She dreamed of lands in a sweet sunrise
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Here in a land of living skies.
D MajorD G+G
So when the reverend came to call
E minorEm D MajorD
She did not need to answer
G+G G+G D MajorD
She knew he'd met with his demise
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Gone to the land of the living skies.
D MajorD G+G
She put on her good clothes
D MajorD G+G
She stood out on the rise
E minorEm D MajorD
She called his name aloud
G+G C majorC
And these were his replies.
D MajorD G+G
There is no more anger here
E minorEm D MajorD
Nor is there cause for mourning
G+G G+G D MajorD
In the untamed wheat and the feral rise
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Here in the land of the living skies.
D MajorD G+G
Grieve not for we who live
E minorEm D MajorD
In the amber dawn of morning
G+G G+G D MajorD
In the untamed wheat and the feral rise
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Here in the land of the living skies
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Here in the land of the living skies
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Here in the land of the living skies
THE END!
