[D] [D] [Bm]
[G] [Bm] [F#m] [D] [Bm]
[D] It's enough to drive a man crazy
It'll [A] break a man's faith
[B] It's enough [G] to make him wonder
If he's ever [D] been sane
When he's [G] bleeding for comfort
[B] from my [Dm] staff and I [Bm] ride
[G] Heaven's [A] only answer is the silence [D] of God
[Bm] [D] And it'll shake a man's timbers
When he loses his [F#m] heart
[A] when he has to [C#] remember
[D] What broke him apart
This [G] yoke may be [D] easy, but this burden [Bm] Is not
When the crying [A] fields are frozen by the [D] silence of God
[F#m] And if a [Bm] man has got [A] to listen
to [G] the [D] voices of the [F#m] mob
[Bm] Who are reeling in [A] the throes of [C#] all the [G] happiness [D] they've got
[Bm] When they tell you all [A] their troubles have been [G] nailed up to that [D] cross
[Em] What about the [D] times when [G] even
Followers get lost, cause we all get lost sometimes
[D] There's a statue of Jesus
On a monastery knoll
In the hills of [Bm] Kentucky
All quiet and [A] cold
He's [D] kneeling in the guard
Silent as a stone
And all his friends [G] are sleeping
[D] He's weeping [Am] all alone
[D] And the man of all [G] sorrows
He [D] never [Bm] forgot
What sorrow [A] is carried
By the hearts that he [D] bought
So when the questions [G] dissolve
into the [A] silence [Bm] of God
The aching may [A] remain
But the [D] breaking does not
The aching may [G] remain
But the breaking [D] does not
In the holy [A] lonesome echo
The silence of [D] God
[D] [D]
[G] [D]
