[Verse 1]
Am7                            
    I cross the green mountain,
G/B      C                    D
           I sit by the stream
Am7                     G/B      
    Heaven blazing in my   head, 
   C                        D
I   dreamt a monstrous dream
C                     G/B   Am7 
     Something came up         
             Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
out of the sea
Em                       C       
    Swept through the land of,  
    D              Em
the rich and the free
C       G       D

[Verse 2]
Am7                      G/B      
    I look into the eyes,         
 C                      D
   of my merciful friend
Am7                     G/B     
    And then i ask myself,      
C               D
 is this the end?
C                G/B     Am7    
   Memories linger,         sad 
         Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
yet sweet              and I
 Em            C       D         
think of the souls  in heaven who
       Em
 will meet
C       G       D

[Chorus]
C                G/B         Am7
   Altars are burning,         
                    G
with flames far and wide
C                         G/B     
   The foe has crossed over       
Am7                  Dsus4  D 
   from the other side
Dsus2  D

C                     G/B   Am7 
   They tip their caps,        
                      G
from the top of the hill
Am7                     G/B      
   You can feel them come,      
    Cadd9               Dsus4     
more brave blood to spill
  D


[Verse 3]
Am7             G/B  C          
   Along the dim,      Atlantic 
    D
line
Am7               G/B   C       
   the ravaged land,      lies 
              D
for miles behind
C                           G/B  
   The light's coming forward    
   Am7                         
       and the streets are 
Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
broad

Em              C    D    
   All must yield      to the 
               Em
avenging God
C       G C G

[Chorus]
C                 G/B   Am7     
   The world is old,       the 
            G
world is gray
C                 G/B   Am7     
   Lessons of life,        can't
                    Dsus4  D 
 be learned in a day
Dsus2  D

C                   G/B  Am7    
   I watch and I wait,      and 
                      G
I listen while I stand
Am7                      G/B    
   To the music that comes      
Cadd9                   Dsus4    
   from a far-better land
   D


[Verse 4]
             Am7               G/B
   Close the eyes of our   
         C                  D
captain,         peace may he know
Am7                      G/B    
   His long night is done,      
C                            D
 the great leader is laid low
C                      G/B    
   He was ready to fall,      
Am7                      Dsus4 D 
   he was quick to defend
Dsus2 D

Em                      C        
   Killed outright he was,       
D              Em
  by his own men
C       G C G

[Verse 5]
Am7                            
   It's the last day's last 
G/B      C                       D
hour,         of the last happy year
Am7                      G/B    
   I feel that the unknown      
C                 D
  world is so near
C                  G/B    Am7   
   Pride will vanish         and
               Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
 glory will rot
Em                C      D      
   But virtue lives       and 
             Em
cannot be forgot
C       G       D

[Verse 6]
Am7            G/B      C
     The bells            of 
                       D
leavening have rung
Am7                G/B    C     
   There's blasphemy        on 
           D
every tongue
C                          G/B    
   Let 'em say that I walked      
Am7                     Dsus4 D 
   in fair nature's light
Dsus2 D

Em                    C     D   
   And that I was loyal       to
                  Em
 truth and to right
C       G C G

[Chorus]
C                          G/B    
   Serve God and be cheerful,     
 Am7                   G
    look upward, beyond
C                             G/B
   Beyond the darkness of masks, 
    Am7                    Dsus4  
       the surprises of dawn
D Dsus2  D

C                         G/B     
   In the deep green grasses      
Am7                          G
   of the blood stained world
Am7                    
   They never dreamed of 
            G/B      Cadd9        
surrenderin',           they fell 
                  Dsus4       D
where they stood

[Verse 7]
Am7                      G/B      
   Stars fell over Alabama,       
C                D
  I saw each star
Am7                       G/B     
   You're walkin' in dreams,      
 C                D
   whoever you are
C                      G/B    
   Chilled are the skies,     
Am7                  Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
    keen as the frost
Em                        C      
   The ground's froze hard       
D                     Em
  and the morning is lost
C       G C G

[Verse 8]
Am7                 G/B      C  
   A letter to mother           
          D
came today
Am7                          G/B 
   Gunshot wound to the breast   
    C                   D
      is what it did say
C                         G/B     
   But he'll be better soon,      
Am7                       Dsus4 D
    he's in a hospital bed
 Dsus2 D

Em                          C    
   But he'll never be better -   
   D                Em
      he's already dead
C       G C G

[Verse 9]
Am7                            
            I'm ten miles 
G/B             C           
outside the city,      and I'm 
          D
lifted away
Am7                    G/B     C
     In an ancient light,       
                    D
  that is not of day
C                               
   They were calm, they were 
G/B     Am7                       
blunt,         we knew 'em all too
 Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
 well
Em                            C  
   We loved each other more than 
    D                   Em
      we ever dared to tell
C       G Cadd9 G
