Verse 1:
Dm                         G
Down where the valleys are low
                    C     F C
There's a refuge so high
    Dm                           G
And down where the coldest winds blow
                        C     F C
There the warmest winds hide
    Dm                    G
And deep in the forest of woe
                     C     F C Dm C
Sweet deliverance is nigh
    Dm7                         A#
And deep in the heart there's a rose
                     A
That a glimmer keeps guidin'

Pre-Chorus:
         D5/A     G               C            Cadd9
'Til the heavens' song begins the holy files a-burnin'
         D5/A    G            C            Cadd9
And the harmony is set to weave a silver sermon
        D5/A       G               C             Cadd9
And my heart's aflame until the blessed rhythm's churnin'


Chorus 1:
        Dm7  C F            G              C
Push me on         from the danger that's pullin' me
    Dm    C  C/B G
And holds me so  strong
       Dm7  C F        G         C
Send a song     on the wind to deliver me
Am7         D7            G
Take me and rise when the fire is on
          Dm7  C F         G          C
Take the reins     and the loneliness fillin' me
    Am           D            G              C C/B
And make my fear fuel and the fuel hi-octane


Verse 2:

Down where the valleys are low
                    C     F C
There's a refuge so high
    Dm                           G
And down where the coldest winds blow
                        C     F C
There the warmest winds hide
    Dm                    G
And deep in the forest of woe
                     C     F C Dm C
Sweet deliverance is nigh
    Dm7                         A#
And deep in the heart there's a rose
                     A
That a glimmer keeps guidin'


Pre-Chorus:
         D5/A     G               C            Cadd9
'Til the heavens' song begins the holy files a-burnin'
         D5/A    G            C            Cadd9
And the harmony is set to weave a silver sermon
        D5/A       G               C             Cadd9
And my heart's aflame until the blessed rhythm's churnin'


Chorus 2:
         Dm7  C F             G         C
Lead the way      through the glories deceivin' me
    Dm        C   C/B G
And reverie's sway
            Dm7  C F          G           C           C/B
Through the day      when the hereafter's holdin' me
Am7       D7         G           C
Lend me a hand and I won't delay
       Dm7  C F            G            C        C/B
Send a ray     through the seven veiled mysteries
    Am7               D7              G              F G
And break their sweet spell and their links of chain
