[Verse 1]
Em Bm Am Bm Em Em Em Em
Where I came from there were no hills at all.
C C D Am Em Em Em Em
The land was flat, the highway straight and wide.
Am Am F C G G D D
My brother and I would drive for hours, like we'd years instead of days,
Em Am D G G G G
our faces as pale as the dirty snow.
[Verse 2]
Em Bm Am Bm Em Em Em Em
Once I knew there was a love divine.
C C D Am Em Em Em Em
Then came a time I thought it knew me not.
Am Am F C G G D D
Who can forgive forgiveness when forgiveness is not
Em Am D G G G G
only the lamb as white as snow?

C C Bm Bm C C Bm Bm
And the water, it was icy, as it washed over me.
Am Am C G C G D D D D
And the moon shined a-bove, -bove, me.
[Verse 3]
Em Bm Am Bm Em Em Em Em
Now this dry ground, it bears no fruit at all.
C C D Am Em Em Em Em
Only poppies laugh under the crescent moon.
Am Am C C G G D D
The road refuses strangers, the land the seeds we sow.
Em Am D G G G G
Where might we find a lamb as white as snow?
[Verse 4]
Em Bm Am Bm Em Em Em Em
As boys we would go hunting in the woods,
C C D Am Em Em Em Em
to sleep the night, shooting out the stars.
Am Am C C G G D D
Now the wolves are every passing stranger, every face we cannot know.
Em Am D G G G G
If only a heart could be as white as snow.
Em Am D G G G G
If only a heart could be as white as snow.
