Gabriels Sword

INTRO: F  Dm  F  Dm

       F
In the middle of the schoolyard
          Dm
Where the bombs have lain to rest
          Bb                   C
There's a child in the darkness waiting


        F
But the answers in the history books
    Dm
Are slowly burning down
        Bb                           C
And the words that spell forgiveness, wear a thorny crown


CHORUS:
Gm        C          F            Dm
Gabriel's sword will pierce me no more
     Bb            F   C
I'll let my spirit soar so high
Gm             C              Am            Dm
Sure as it all comes from the father to the son
      Bb              F            C
We've got to learn to see the truth to fly
             F
It's a beautiful sky

INTERLUDE: F  Dm  F  Dm


         F
There is much that I have seen
        Dm
In this world they say is free
           Bb                 C
That would make it almost seem untrue


     F
Many times I've walked the line
        Dm
Longing for the other side
     Bb                        C
Only thing that changed my mind was you


CHORUS:
Gm        C          F            Dm
Gabriel's sword will pierce me no more
     Bb            F   C
I'll let my spirit soar so high
Gm             C              Am            Dm
Sure as it all comes from the father to the son
      Bb              F            C
We've got to learn to see the truth to fly
             F       Dm
It's a beautiful sky
             F       Dm
It's a beautiful sky
