Verse 1

G5        C5              G5    G5
same old story came and went
G5                      C5                      G5             G5
gone like the words it wasted, and told as the time it spent
         C5                   C5                    E5             E5
like the ones passing by all forgotten for why or what they meant
       D5                     C5                    G5 
just a blank page that still remains, and a lasting hymn

   C5  G5  G5    

Verse 2

G5           C5                  G5     G5
gone, she's gone, her wind has blown
G5                     C5                          G5       G5
further away from the winters that made her feel so alone
     C5                   C5                    E5              E5
and all she remembers of distant Decembers chilled to the bone 
         D5                       C5
can just fade like the old false loves 
                C5                   C5    E5      A5  
for she hears a tune calling like a holy morning song


Chorus

       G5  C5          G5  C5          G5  C5        D5  C5   
say my peace, say my glory, say my love say my song

       G5  C5          G5  C5          G5  C5         D5    C5
say my peace, say my glory, say my love said my so o nnng

G5 C5 G5 G5


Verse 3

G5        C5                       G5
where oh where did your songbird fly
G5                   C5                        G5
effortlessly on the seven great seas and the wailing sky
       C5                                  E5
is she sleeping or alone and weeping and wondering why
            D5                     C5    C5   E5  A5  D5
through the silence a song can be born and survive 


Verse 4

but somehwere she hears that sweet reprise
calling like a long lost love with sleep upon his weary eyes
and complete disregard for the longwinded hardships and gone goodbyes
for the love that remains is clear as that lasting hymn
singin like a holy morning song


Chorus

Bridge

E5 D5                     G5
   just like the morning bells tolling
        E5   D5                      E5
and the dreams that were restlesssly stolen
        B5          C5
and the light still shining
       E5                     D5
on the souls that were broken before 
               C5  
and a voice is calling
D5          G5      C5             G5
calling them home, calling them home


Verse 5

after all the tides have tamed
silences broken and the stories half spoken but yet unnamed
i'll be painfully sure of the ones that endure and are unashamed
as the breath of a lasting hymn so soft and true and mercifully
calling back again 

Chorus Jam (finger pickin' good)
