A Town Called Amen

[Verse]
        C  G   Dm
The days          of our innocence 
and
C      G      Dm
grace  flow   by
C          G  Dm
The smiles we wear upon our
C    G   Dm
face blow by

        Dm    C       G
Oh, the sweet wine of youth
     Dm   C    G
Goes sour over time
                Dm   C         G
Seems like the more that you lose
    Dm        C      G
The more you ache to find

[Chorus]
  Dm   G      C
A town called Amen
       Dm     G    C
Like a bright-eyed smile
         Dm   G    C
For some long lost friend
       Dm    G     C        C G C
It's a town called Amen

[Verse]
    C      G      Dm
Sit at the window sill
        C        G       Dm
See the children rushing by
       C        G      Dm
Come a flood of summer rain
        C    G        Dm
Strange increments of time

        Dm   C       G
How the wild engines run
        Dm      C        G
Burning shadows from our minds
              Dm C         G
Lord when the purging gets done
       Dm          C    G
I sure pray what's left behind


[Chorus]
  Dm   G      C
A town called Amen
       Dm     G    C
Like a bright-eyed smile
         Dm   G    C
For some long lost friend
       Dm   G      C      C
It's a town called Amen

[Verse]
     C        G       Dm
Come lay down on this bed
     C          G     Dm
Hey, close your weary eyes
         C      G         Dm
Like the clouds above our heads
     C      G      Dm
Life slowly passes by

        Dm       C       G
Did you kiss the dog you love
         Dm     C      G
When you were a little child?
         Dm  C      G
Will you lay in the arms of
           Dm  C     G
Some sweet reverie a while?

     Dm   G      C
In a town called Amen
       Dm     G  C
Like a bright sunrise
            Dm   G       C
Hey, if you open up your eyes
            Dm   G      C      Dm
You're in a town called Amen,  
 G C
Amen
