[Verse 1]
      Em     Bm         Am      
Where I came from there were no 
Bm       Em     Em     Em     Em
hills at all.
    C        C         D       
The land was flat, the highway 
Am             Em     Em     Em
  straight and wide.

   Am          Am      F         
My brother and I would drive for 
C                G        G      
hours, like we'd years instead of
 D      D
 days,
    Em       Am          D     G
our faces as pale as the dirty 
     G     G     G
snow.

[Verse 2]
Em     Bm         Am    Bm      
Once I knew there was a love 
Em     Em     Em     Em
divine.
     C      C      D          Am
Then came a time I thought it 
      Em     Em     Em     Em
knew me not.
    Am      Am      F       C   
Who can forgive forgiveness when
     G   G      D      D
 forgiveness is not
Continues after the ad
  Em     Am      D        G     
only the lamb as white as snow?
G     G     G

And the water,   it was icy,    
      C      C    Bm   Bm
as it washed over me.
        Am   Am       C  G   C  
And the moon shined a-bove, 
G  D    D    D    D
-bove, me.

[Verse 3]
    Em       Bm         Am       
Now this dry ground, it bears no 
Bm       Em     Em     Em     Em
fruit at all.
     C       C       D    
Only poppies laugh under the 
   Am             Em     Em     
crescent moon.
Em     Em

    Am     Am    C          C    
The road refuses strangers,   the
 G        G        D      D
 land the seeds we sow.
               Em     Am      D  
Where might we find a lamb as 
      G     G     G     G
white as snow?

[Verse 4]
   Em      Bm       Am      Bm   
As boys we would go hunting in 
  Em     Em     Em     Em
the woods,
   C  C      D      Am          
to sleep the night,    shooting 
         Em       Em     Em     Em
out the stars.
        Am        Am    C       
Now the wolves are every passing
C               G       G      
 stranger, every face we cannot
D      D
 know.
          Em          Am    D    
If only a heart could be as white
    G     G     G     G
 as snow.
          Em          Am    D    
If only a heart could be as white
    G     G     G     G
 as snow.
