I don't do much of an intro - only a couple of measures on the G. These chords should work for
either guitar or baritone ukulele in standard tuning. Such a beautiful song and such an important message!
[Verse]
G D
I heard an owl call last night, homeless and confused
C D
I stood naked and bewildered at the evil people do.
G D
And up upon a hill there is a terrible sign
C Em
That tells the story of what darkness waits
C D G
If we leave the light behind.
[Chorus]
Em D G C
So don't tell me hate is ever right or God's will
G D
These are wheels we've put in motion ourselves
Em D G C
And the whole world weeps and is weeping still
G D
Though shaken I still believe the best of what we all can be
C Em
And the only peace this world will know
C D G
Can only come from Love.
[Verse]
G D
I am a voice that's calling out across the great divide
C D
And I am only one person who feels they have to try
G D
The questions fall like trees or dust, rise like prayers above
C Em C D G
But the only word is 'courage' and the only answer 'Love'.
[Chorus]
Em D G C
So don't tell me hate is ever right or God's will
G D
These are wheels we've put in motion ourselves
Em D G C
And the whole world weeps and is weeping still
G D
Though shaken I still believe the best of what we all can be
C Em
And the only peace this world will know
C D G
Can only come from Love.
[Verse]
G D
Light every candle that you can; we need the light to see
C D
In these days of deepest loss treat each other tenderly
G D
The arms of God will gather in each sparrow that falls
C Em C D G
But makes no separation - just fiercely loves us all
[Chorus]
Em D G C
So don't tell me hate is ever right or God's will
G D
These are wheels we've put in motion ourselves
Em D G C
And the whole world weeps and is weeping still
G D
Though shaken I still believe the best of what we all can be
C Em
And the only peace this world will know
C D G
