_ _ _ _ Suzie's biggest [Ab] hits along with Nancy Griffith.
Hi.
[Bb] Nancy, too. _
_ And Tom _ asked me four or five [G] years ago if I wanted to make a record [Eb] with him about the West,
and a place where we both lived.
[Bb] And I said I did.
And [Ab] we started talking about songs that we might [Bb] do.
And as it turned out, [Eb] they ended up all being cover songs, including [Bb] for me, anyway,
including this one that _ _ came from Tom.
It was a brand new song.
And as a songwriter, a [Cm] record of cover songs wasn't something that I ever thought I would really [Eb] do.
_ But [Ab] this one came to me, and I knew I wanted to sing it.
[Eb] And for [C] about three years after we made the record, it was my highest-selling [Ab] song on iTunes,
which, [N] as a songwriter, pissed me off.
[Eb] _ What _ [C] are you going [Bb] to do, right?
[F] It's a bird, isn't it?
[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ My [C] guitar's out of tune, [Gm] too. _
_ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ There are ghosts out in the rain
_ _ _ _ _ High up in those ancient [G] trees
_ _ [Cm] _ _
And I have given up [F] without a fight
_ _ _ _ Another blind fool on [Bb] her _ knees _
And all the gods that I've abandoned
_ Begin _ _ _ to speak in [C] simple tongue _
_ _ _ _ _ Suddenly [F] life comes
And _ _ _ _ there are no [Bb] walls left to run _
[F] Now _ _ it's the [C] hour of [Bb] dawn to bark in
_ _ That's _ _ what the old ones [Cm] used to say _ _ _ _ _ _
It's first light [F] on in sundown _ _
_ _ _ Before the children cease [Bb] their _ play
[F] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ The mountains glow like an ancient wine
_ _ _ _ _ Turn gray like a [Cm] Spanish home _
Ten _ _ _ _ thousand [F] eyes will stop and watch _ _ _ _
Turn away and [Bb] head for home _
[C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ She is reaching out her [Eb] arms tonight _ _
_ _ Yes, my [Bb] poverty is _ real _ _ _
I pray roses shall rain [Cm] down _ again
_ _ [F] _ _ One lube on [Bb] her _ head
[F] _ _ [Bb] _
And who am I to doubt [Eb] these _ mysteries _ _ _ _
Cured in centuries [Bb] of blood and candle smoke
_ I am the least of all [Cm] your _ pilgrims here
_ [F] _
_ I am most in [Bb] need of her
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ She appeared to want him
She _ _ _ _ _ left a revenge on [Cm] his gate _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Five hundred years [F] of sorrow _ _ _ _ _
_ Cannot destroy their deepest [Bb] faith
So _ _ [Bb] _ here I am, your ragged _ disbeliever _
_ _ _ A doubting Thomas drowned [Cm] in tears
_ As _ _ I watch your church [F] sink through the air
_ _ _ _ _ Like a heart worn down [Bb] through fear _ _
She _ _ is reaching out her [Eb] arms _ tonight _ _ _
_ Yes, my poverty is real
_ _ _ _ I pray roses shall rain [Cm] down again
_ _ [F] _ _ One lube on [Bb] her _ [F] head
_ _ [Bb] _
And who am I to doubt [Eb] these mysteries _ _ _ _ _
Cured in centuries [Bb] of blood and candle smoke
_ I am the least of all [Cm] your _ pilgrims here _ _
[F] _ _ I am most [Bb] in need of her
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ I am the least of all [Cm] your _ pilgrims here
[F] _ _ _ I am most [Bb] in need of her
