Dave Gunning - We're All Leaving
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C
Am7 F C
There is thunder on the skyline
Am
And it tears her breath away
C
In the twilight iron-grey
Am7 F C
A father's human hand could not command her
F
To return to them once more
C
Like a soldier from the war
CHORUS:
F C
We're all leaving
F C Am7
Even the ones who stay behind
F G C
We're all leaving in our own time
Am7 F C
Each night surrenders to another morning
Am
Still beneath the April skies
C
He can hear a quiet cry
Am7 F C
On smiling fields there's a battle raging
F
And for every bloom he knows
C
Another flower never grows
CHORUS:
F C
We're all leaving
F C Am7
Even the ones who stay behind
F G Am7
We're all leaving in our own time
F G C
We're all leaving in our own time
BRIDGE:
Dm7 F
And he has no Ark to bear him from this flood
C G
Just a broken vessel wrought in flesh and blood
Am7
Though the riptides pull him under
D
He cannot cease to wonder
F
At the beauty of it all
Dm7 C
At the beauty of it all
Am7 F C
He brings her mother to the church doors
Am
And while she prays for what must come
C
He walks the woods alone
Am7 F C
And there he builds his own cathedrals
F
And on every whirring wing
C
He can hear the forest sing
CHORUS:
F C
We're all leaving
F C Am7
Even the ones who stay behind
F G Am7
We're all leaving in our own time
F G Am7
We're all leaving in our own time
F G C
We're all leaving in our own time
