D G
In the burning light of dawn
Bm A
In the stillness of the morning
G Bm D
He held her close he kissed her eyes
A G
Under a blanket of living skies.
D G
They were lovers all through school
Bm A
They always were together
G Bm D
And on her hand a golden ring
A G
Within which sat forever.
D Bm
But a young man's heart is brave
D G
The same brave boy she wed
Bm G
Has gone away in uniform
Bm A
Sleeps in a soldier’s bed.
D G
In the colors of the East
Bm A
In the blazing light of morning
G Bm D
She dreamed of lands in a sweet sunrise
A G
Here in a land of living skies.
D G
So when the reverend came to call
Bm A
She did not need to answer
G Bm D
She knew he'd met with his demise
A G
Gone to the land of the living skies.
D Bm
She put on her good clothes
D G
She stood out on the rise
Bm G
She called his name aloud
Bm A
And these were his replies.
D G
There is no more anger here
Bm A
Nor is there cause for mourning
G Bm D
In the untamed wheat and the feral rise
A G
Here in the land of the living skies.
D G
Grieve not for we who live
Bm A
In the amber dawn of morning
G Bm D
In the untamed wheat and the feral rise
A G
Here in the land of the living skies
A G
Here in the land of the living skies
A D G
Here in the land of the living skies
