[Intro]
[Am G F E](X2)
Am Dm E
He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
Am Dm E
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
Am Dm E
He came bathed in light and splendor and glory
Am Dm E
I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me
[Am Dm E](X2)
Am Dm E
He said dance for me, fanciulla gentil
Am Dm E
He said laugh a while, I can make your heart feel
Am Dm E
He said fly with me, touch the face of the true god
Am Dm E
And then cry with joy at the depth of my love
Am Dm
Cause I've prayed days, I've prayed nights
E
For the lord just to send me home some sign
Am Dm
I've looked long, I've looked far
E Am
To bring peace to my black and empty heart
Dm E E Am Dm E E
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Aaaaah
[Am Dm E](X4)
Am Dm E
My love will stay till the river bed run dry
Am Dm E
And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky
Am Dm E
I love him longer as each damn day goes
Am Dm E
The man is gone and heaven only knows
Am G
Cause I've cried days, I've cried nights
F E
For the lord just to send me up some sign
Am G
Is he near? Is he far?
F E
Bring peace to my black and empty heart
Am G
So long day, so long night
F E
Oh lord, be near me tonight
Am G
Is he near? Is he far?
F E
Bring peace to my black and empty heart
Am G F E
Aaaaah
Am G F E
