Intro: A, G, E, (2x)

A        G             E        
Broken wing, forgotten dream, shattered thing 
       A          G            E      
That a mans hands can’t ever mend 

A         G          E               A
Shadow land, desert sand, a man searches 
       G                  E
For a love that’ll never die 

A         G                 E
Truth be known, you’re not alone 
                              A
Your aching bones will find a home 
               G              E
In place where God he sets us free 

  A   G               E
Wake me up before you go 
                      A   G         E
I will listen for the sound of your voice 

A        G           E
Hear the wind in the trees 
                 A
It goes where it please 
         G         E
Like the breath in me 

A                G          E
And all who have breath can sing 

A, G, E

        A
When we layed your body down 
       C
In the earth and in the ground 
   G                A
Oh child, rest your soul. 

E      A            
Will a hope be made good 
        C
When a word is understood 
 A        G         A
In the day, will we see you again? 

E, A, G, A (2x)

A             G        E
Gather round, hear the sound 
                     A                  G
Of a story that’s so old that it’s been told 
       E
Before time 

A      G           E
He was born in the flesh and the blood 
     A                      G                 E
In a world that was dark as hell, and dead in sin 

A           G               E
Born of the spirit, and the virgin child 
                A           E
He’s the son of God, son of man 

A        G                          E
I didn’t recognize that look in his eyes 

When they cried 
       A              G            E
With a sorrow that no man has ever known 

A              G         E
Hang him high, watch him die, hear the cry 
      A              G            E
Crucified up on that God forsaken tree 
A           G               E
And all who have breath can sing 


A, G, E

        A
When we layed your body down 
       C
In the earth and in the ground 
   G                A
Oh child, rest your soul. 

E      A            
Will a hope be made good 
        C
When a word is understood 
 A        G         A
In the day, will we see you again?

Oh Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani? 
      A       G  C  A           
Oh my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? 

  A     G  C  A  G         A   E
Oh Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani? 
      A       G  C  A           
Oh my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
