(intro: C G   C G   CG)


        G (320003@1)        C (x32010@1)  
One morn I awakened
C (x32010@1)               G (320003@1)    CG   
And your sun was shining
G (320003@1)             Em (022000@1)  DThe (xx0232@1)sky was a kingdom
DAll (xx0232@1)covered with blood
D (xx0232@1)                    GAnd (320003@1)the moon and the stars
C (x32010@1)                         G (320003@1)    CG
Were the troops that lay conquered
G (320003@1)                 Em (022000@1) D (xx0232@1)
Like fruit left to wither
D (xx0232@1)             G (320003@1)  CG
All spiritual food


G (320003@1)                             CAnd (x32010@1)the spears of the bright sun
C (x32010@1)                    G (320003@1)  CG
All brave with its conquest
G (320003@1)              Em (022000@1) DDid (xx0232@1)hover unearhtly
DWith (xx0232@1)banners of fire
                        GAnd (320003@1)I knelt in the garden
C (x32010@1)                  G (320003@1)  CG
and washed with the dawn
                      EmThe (022000@1)voice came so brightly
D (xx0232@1)            GI (320003@1)covered my eyes


G (320003@1)                    CThank (x32010@1)you for giving 
C (x32010@1)               G (320003@1)     CG
This bright new morning
G (320003@1)                      Em (022000@1)   DSo (xx0232@1)steeped seemed the evening
D (xx0232@1)                GIn (320003@1)darkness and blood
G (320003@1)                    (stop!)- -
Let there be no sadness
- - - - -
No sorrow
- - - - -     C (x32010@1)         G (320003@1)Let there be no road to narrow
G (320003@1)   
There'll be a new day
G (320003@1)       DYes (xx0232@1)its today
 Gits (320003@1)forever
