Intro: Em Csus2

[verse]

     Em       Csus2  Em          Csus2
this darkness would eclipse our will
   Em       Csus2  Em          Csus2
a cold wind blows across these hills
  Em       Csus2        Em       Csus2
a swinging gaze from a hangman's tree
  Em          Csus2           Em     Csus2
a crow's nest view of what's left to see
     D/F#                                     Em 
the lifeless forms of saints return the silence to the snow
  D/F#                              Csus2
still beneath the grains waiting for this time to grow


   Cm    D
so hold on
     C
hold tight
 Em     Em7
open daylight
Cm   D     C 
we will overcome

Em   Csus2        Em        Csus2
          so put away your fear
     Em     Csus2     Em         Csus2
the morning star will soon appear
     Em      Csus2  Em        Csus2
and bring an end to this dark night
   Em       Csus2           Em       Csus2
and we must run if we're to meet the light

[bridge]

 Bm
watered by the blood of martyrs
  C
blessed and blind as sons and daughters
  D/F#              Em
sleep with one eye open
     C
and live with both eyes shut
          Bm
so let's find the place where sight begins
     C
and see the things that we saw when our
 D/F#                Em               C
eyes were bright and wet against the light

   Cm    D
and hold on
     C
hold tight
 Em   Em7  
open daylight
 Cm  D    C Em
we will overcome

Cm D      C
open your eyes
Em       Bm
o'er the new sight
Cm  D         C  Em    Csus2
fly the flags of dawn
