CAPO: 4th Fret


Intro:
D MajorD C majorC  G+G

Verse 1:

There are ghosts out in the rain tonight
             A minorAm
High up in those ancient trees
            D MajorD
And I have given up without a fight
           G+G
Another blind fool on his knees

And all the gods that I've abandoned
             A minorAm
Begin to speak in simple tongue
          D MajorD
And, suddenly, I've come to know
                G+G
That there are no roads left to run

Verse 2:

Now it's the hour of dogs a-barking
                 A minorAm
That's what the old ones used to say
             D MajorD
It's first light, or it's sundown
                G+G
Before the children cease their play

And when the mountains glow like mission wine
              A minorAm
Or turn grey like a Spanish roan
            D MajorD
Ten thousand eyes will stop to worship
               G+G
Then turn away, and head for home


Chorus:
              C majorC
And she is reaching out her arms tonight
            G+G
And, yes, my poverty is real
            A minorAm     D MajorD
I pray roses shall rain down again
            G+G
From Guadalupe, on her hill
                C majorC
And, who am I to doubt these mysteries
           G+G
Cured in centuries of blood, and candle smoke?
               A minorAm     D MajorD
I am the least of all your pilgrims here
             G+G
But I am most in need of hope

Instrumental:
G+G  A minorAm  D MajorD   G+G


Verse 3:
            G+G
She appeared to Juan Diego
             A minorAm
She left her image on his cape
           D MajorD
Five hundred years of sorrow
               G+G
Cannot destroy their deepest faith

So, here I am, your ragged disbeliever
              A minorAm
A augmentedA doubting Thomas drowns in tears
              D MajorD
As I watch your church sink through the earth
                G+G
Like a heart worn down through fear


Chorus:
              C majorC
And she is reaching out her arms tonight
            G+G
And, yes, my poverty is real
            A minorAm     D MajorD
I pray roses shall rain down again
            G+G
From Guadalupe, on her hill
                C majorC
And, who am I to doubt these mysteries
           G+G
Cured in centuries of blood, and candle smoke?
               A minorAm     D MajorD
I am the least of all your pilgrims here
             G+G
But I am most in need of hope
               A minorAm     D MajorD
I am the least of all your pilgrims here
             G+G
But I am most in need of hope
