G
Well the moon moved past Nebraska
Am
And spilled laughter on them cold Dakota hills
G
And the angels danced on Jacob's stairs
G
Yeah they danced on Jacob's stairs
C
There is the silence in the badlands
C Am
And over Kansas the whole universe was stilled
G G
With the whisper of a prayer, whisper of a prayer
F
And a single hawk bursts into flight
Am G
And in the east the whole horizon is in flame
F
I feel the thunder in the sky
F Am
And see the sky about to rain
F G C
And I hear the prairies calling out Your name
[Verse 2]
G
I can feel the earth tremble
Am
Beneath the rumbling of the buffalo hooves
G
And the fury in the pheasant's wings
G
Yeah there's fury in the pheasant's wings
C
And it tells me the Lord is in his temple
C
And there is still a faith
Am
That can make the mountains move
G
And a love that can make the heavens ring
G
Yeah I've seen love make Heaven ring
F
Where the secret rivers meet
Am G
beneath the shadow of the Keeper of the plains
F
I feel the thunder in the sky
F Am
And see the sky about to rain
F G C
And I hear the prairies calling out Your name
[Verse 3]
G
From the place where morning gathers
Am
You can look sometimes forever till you see
G
What time may never know
G
What time may never know
C
How the Lord takes by its corners
G Am
This whole world and shakes us forward and shakes us free
G
To run wild with the hope
G
To run wild with the hope
F
The hope that this thirst will not last long
Am G
That it will soon drown in a song not sung in vain
F
I feel the thunder in the sky
F Am
See the sky about to rain
F G C
And I hear the prairies calling out your name
[Outro]
F
And I know this thirst will not last long
Am G
That it will soon drown in a song not sung in vain
F
I feel the thunder in the sky
F Am
See the sky about to rain
F G C
And I hear the prairies calling out your name.
