[Intro]
A A A A
[Verse 1]
A
A man he loves a woman
D Dsus4 D
They marry and they raise a child
A D
That's the way the whole world over
A Asus4
But there's too much life involved
A
Now looking out the window
D Dsus4 D
At the skies that keep closing in
A A7
And deep down in their heart they know
A
The void will never fill
[Verse 2]
A
Photographs and memories
D Dsus4 D
That never fade as time moves on
E7 E
And he becomes the hunter
A Asus4
And questions burn like the sun
A
And for the pilgrim
D Dsus4 D
The road is always long and sore
E A A7
But for the love of the father
A
You walk it all and so much more
[Chorus]
A D A
And the leaving takes you home
D A E
There you dare belief to walk alone
F#m C#m D
Where you laid her name down in stone
E
For the love of Alison
[Bridge]
F#m E F#m E
[Verse 3]
A
There's a road that reaches India
D Dsus4 D
And it pulled her to the roof of the world
A D
Through the temples of the East she walked
A Asus4
A bright eyed Christian girl
A
There the light that shone around her
D Dsus4 D
It vanished in the morning air
A A7
Where destiny and purpose
A
Together walk their dark and hidden ways
[Chorus]
A D A
And the leaving takes you home
D A E
There you dare belief to stand alone
F#m C#m D
Where you laid her name down in stone
E
For the love of Alison
[Chorus]
A D A
And the hills are crowned in snow
D A E
You face the place of winter till the thaw
F#m C#m D
And through that darkness we all must walk
E E7
For the love of Alison
[Instrumental]

D A E C#m
Is this the cross we have to bear
D F#m
Is this the love we have to share
[Link]
E F#m E
[Verse 4]
A
Now the autumn leaves are falling
D Dsus4 D
From the trees and from the rest of our years
E7 E
And all of us are searching
A Asus4
For a light that's disappeared
A
We take refuge in our weakness
D Dsus4 D
Unable to confront the fear
E A A7
That keeps a pilgrim still believing
A
Swimming upstream in a river of his tears
[Instrumental]
A D A
D A E
F#m C#m D
E E7
[Chorus]
A D A
And the leaving takes you home
D A E
There you dare belief to walk alone
F#m C#m D
Where you laid her name down in stone

For the love of Alison
[Chorus]

And the hills are crowned in snow

You face the place of winter till the thaw
F#m C#m D
And through that darkness we all must walk
E E7
For the love of Alison

For the love of Alison
