F (133211@1)                 Dm7
Maybe I take it all too personal
Am (x02210@1)       G/B (143121@7)        C (x32010@1)   Jesus, how to reconcile
    Am (x02210@1)              G/BThe (143121@7)joyful noise, the ancient land
       F (133211@1)              Dm7
The tug from some invisible hand
    Am (x02210@1)         G/B (143121@7)          Dm7
The dying mother weaving bulrushes
          FAlong (133211@1)the Nile

C (x32010@1)       G/B (143121@7)           AmFloat (x02210@1)her basket over the sea

          F (133211@1)                    GDon't (320003@1)you worry child, I wrote a lullaby

  Am (x02210@1)                 G/BI (143121@7)try to settle, but I just pass through
     F (133211@1)      Dm7                AmA (x02210@1)rain dog, a gypsy, a wandering Jew
          G/B (143121@7)           CAll (x32010@1)those homes where not ours
       Am (x02210@1)               G/BThen (143121@7)I slept one night in Abraham's field
    F (133211@1)                 Dm7               Am (x02210@1)   G/BAnd (143121@7)dreamt there was no moon the night he died
         FCounting (133211@1)stars, Selah
