It humbled me to know that I walked thru So many people’s prayers and I wrote this song Am On the way down it’s called N.C Am Walkin through the prayers from Bear Butte [Verse 1] Am Blackbirds flying, through the darkness Em Shooting stars, out in space Am D Am Unseen spirits, like phantoms hover Dm Em7 Am Like cherub bells from the holy place Am Where some have prayed, prayers for freedom Em Some beg mercy for their pain [Verse 2] E Am7 D7 Am7 Some have shared life’s dreams and visions Dm7 Em7 Am When they came down they weren’t the same G F Am Step by step, I see my shadow F C Em7 E7 My true soul, walks with me there Am G F D F I shed my tears, I climb this mountain Am E A Em Am7 As I go walking, through the prayers [Verse 3] Am Majestic form, atop earth's mesa E The rocks bear witness, to the truth Am Dm Am As I kneel down, and lift my spirit Dm Em Am To the holy wonder, at Bear Beat [Solo] | Am | F | F | Am | | Am | F | C | C | [Outro] C Am G D I shed my tears, I climb this mountain F7 Am Em Am Am Am G Am As I go walking, through the prayers
