Intro: E5  D5  G5  D5
       E5  D5  G5  A5

Verse 1:

E5        D5               G5   D5
Faithful reasons still unknown
E5                D5           G5     A5
Like Bleak House fog seems everywhere
E5             D5       G5     D5
The truth has faded into stone
E5            D5             G5            First verse: D5  Second verse: A5
And hope lies freezing in the midnight air


Bridge: (just play the chords)

A5              D5
Though dark our days may seem
G5       E5
This is a diff?rent dream
F#m7-5         B5                     E5    E5
Their freedom light don?t shine at all


Chorus:

C5     D5      C5       D5
So I will light a candle for you
C5        D5             C5
And keep it burning in the night
    D5
And pray that you?re all right
C5  D5      C5       D5
I will light a candle for you
C5    D5              C5    D5
A little candle burning bright


Verse 2:

When schoolyard heroes disappear
The little girl she stands alone
Oh I believe you if you say
A prayer can help to get her home (yeah)
