D C G [Verse 1] There are ghosts out in the rain tonightAm High up in those ancient treesD And I have given up without a fightG Another blind fool on his knees And all the gods that I've abandonedAm Begin to speak in simple tongueD And, suddenly, I've come to knowG That there are no roads left to run [Verse 2] Now it's the hour of dogs a-barkingAm That's what the old ones used to sayD It's first light, or it's sundownG Before the children cease their play And when the mountains glow like mission wineAm Or turn grey like a Spanish roanD Ten thousand eyes will stop to worshipContinues after the adG Then turn away, and head for home [Chorus]C And she is reaching out her arms tonightG And, yes, my poverty is realAm I pray roses shall rain down againDG From Guadalupe, on her hill And, who am I to doubt theseC mysteriesG Cured in centuries of blood, and candle smoke?Am I am the least of all your pilgrimsD hereG But I am most in need of hope [Instrumental]G Am D G [Verse 3]G She appeared to Juan DiegoAm She left her image on his capeD Five hundred years of sorrowG Cannot destroy their deepest faith So, here I am, your ragged disbelieverAm A doubting Thomas drowns in tearsD As I watch your church sink through the earthG Like a heart worn down through fear [Chorus]C And she is reaching out her arms tonightG And, yes, my poverty is realAm I pray roses shall rain down againDG From Guadalupe, on her hill And, who am I to doubt theseC mysteriesG Cured in centuries of blood, and candle smoke?Am I am the least of all your pilgrimsD hereG But I am most in need of hopeAm I am the least of all your pilgrimsD hereG But I am most in need of hope
