Hymn For The Unsung chords by The Steel Wheels

Verse 1:

N.C             G                        C
Hymns from the loudest voice, till quiet ones rejoice

G                         D
  Your bitter silence tasted

         G                       C
And to all the beaten down in those forgotten towns

G             D        G
  Let no more time be wasted

Verse 2:

             G                          C
There are no words to sing this little song I bring

G                       D
  I come here empty-handed

            G                  C
There is no day too bright, no darkened night

G              D           G
  There are no wishes granted

Chorus:

        G    G/A  C/B C
That can take this music from me

G              D
  Music from me

      C            G
Can't take it from me

Verse 3:

            G                          C
Though pockets lose their wealth and dust climbs upon the shelf

G                          D
  This beauty will not wither

            G                  C
So with hungry baby face or hands all leather-traced

G             D          G
  Come to the bounty hither

Chorus:

    G     G/A  C/B  C
But don't take this music from me

G              D
  Music from me

      C            G
Don't take it from me

Instrumental:
G  G/A  C/B  C
G  D  C  G

Verse 4:

             G                      C
So go on and ring those bells, lay on your cockle shells

G                           D
  There is no sound displeasing

             G                          C
Run get your pots and pans, tame wood and steel for hands

G            D        G
  Hold up to all your mystery

Chorus:

    G     G/A  C/B  C
But don't take your music from me

G              D
  Music from me

      C            G
Don't take it from me

G     G/A  C/B  C
Don't take this music from me

G              D
  Music from me

          C            G
You won't take it from me

Verse 5:

         G                             C
All sounds from mother deep, this wild mountain steep

G                         D
  We see our days before us

            G                           C
So to each make her own noise, sweet rhymes with simple voice

G              D         G
  But join an ancient chorus

Chorus:

    G     G/A  C/B  C
But don't take your music from me

G              D
  Music from me

          C            G
You won't take it from me

           G     G/A  C/B  C
Oh, please don't take this music from me

G              D
  Music from me

          C            G
You can't take it from me
