Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

This version is from the Live at Bangor Abbey CD. Don't be put off by the complex-looking chords.
I've charted them below FYI. It's easy enough to substitute more simplified chords & still have it sounding
pretty good.

[Intro]
C Csus2 C Csus2/B Am7 G7sus4
Fmaj7 G7sus4 Csus2 C G7sus4 C

[Verse]
G6sus4 C Em7/B
If there's one thing that I know
Csus2 C Fmaj7
It is that two shades of hope
C Csus2/B
One the enlightening soul
Am7 G6sus4
And the other is more like a hangman's rope

[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 G7sus4
Well it's true, you may reap what you sow
Am7#5
But not that despair is the all-time low

[Chorus]
G7sus4 C G7sus4 Csus2 C
Baby, hope deals the the ha- ardest blows

C G7sus4 Csus2 C

[Verse]
G6sus4 C Em7/B
There was once someone I loved
C Fmaj7
And his heart overflowed his cup
F C Csus2/B
And his shoes got covered in blood
Am7
Oh but he never knew
G6sus4
Cause he only looked up

[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 G7sus4
Well he was a troubled soul
Am7#5 Csus2/B G6sus4
And he saw pain more than most I know

[Chorus]
C G7sus4 Csus2 C
Yet it was hope that dealt the ha- ardest blows

C G7sus4 Csus2 C

[Verse]
G6sus4 C Em7/B
And too the girl that holds the hand
C Fmaj7
Of a somewhat distant man
F C Csus2/B
Though she’d do everything she can
Am7 G6sus4
Still his heart set sail for a distant land

[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 G7sus4
And she wonders sometimes if he knows
Am7#5 G6sus4
How she feels like a trampled rose

[Chorus]
C G7sus4 Csus2 C
Baby, hope deals the the ha- ardest blows

C G7sus4 Csus2 C

[Instrumental]
C Csus2/B Am7 G7sus4
Oooh, oh oh
Fmaj7 G7sus4 Csus2 C G7sus4 C
Oooh, oh oh

[Verse]
G6sus4 C Em7/B
Well some people think their sins
C Fmaj7
Cause the cancer that's eating into them
F C Csus2/B
And the only way they can win
Am7 G6sus4
Is by the healing of somebody's hands on their skin

[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 G7sus4 Am7#5 G6sus4
And pra-a-yin, but when the cancer does not go

[Chorus]
C G7sus4 Csus2 C
Surely hope dealt the ha- ardest blows

C G7sus4 Csus2 C

[Verse]
G6sus4 C Em7/B
And now all these truths are sold
C Fmaj7
With foundations below them
F C Csus2/B
That were dug out in winter's cold

[Bridge]
Am7#5 G6sus4 Fmaj7 F G7sus4 Am7#5
When the world stole our young and prayed on the old

[Outro]
C G7sus4 Csus2 C
Well hope deals in the ha- ardest blows
Csus4 G6sus4 C
Yet I cannot help myself but hope

G7sus4 Csus2 C

C Fmaj7
I guess that's why love hurts
G7sus4
And heartache stings
Am7#5
And despair is never worse
G7sus4
Than the despair that it brings

C G7sus4 Am7#5
But hope deals the ha- ardest blows, dear
C G7sus4 Fmaj7
The ha-ardest blows, dear
G7sus4 Csus2 C G7sus4
The ha-ardest blows

C G7sus4 Csus2 C
