Prologue part 1:
Am7 Dsus2
Alone with my thoughts this evening
Am7 Dsus2
I walked on the banks of Tyne
Am7 Dsus2
I wondered how I could win you
Cadd9* G Dsus2
Or if I could make you mine
Cadd9* G Dsus2
Or if I could make you mine
Prologue part 2:
Am7 Dsus2
The wind it was so insistent
Am7 Dsus2
With tales of a story south
Am7 Dsus2
But when I spied two birds in a sycamore tree
Cadd9* G Dsus2
There came a dryness in my mouth
Cadd9* G Dsus2
Came a dryness in my mouth
Prologue part 3:
Am7 Dsus2
For then without rhyme or reason
Am7 Dsus2
The two birds did rise up to fly
Am7 Dsus2
And where the two birds were flying
Cadd9* G Dsus2
I swear I saw you and I
Cadd9* G Dsus2
I swear I saw you and I

[Verse 1]
G G/B
I walked out this morning
Cadd9
It was like a veil had been removed
Dsus4 D
From before my eyes
Em7
For the first time I saw
Bm7
The work of Heaven
Cadd9
In the line where the hills had been
Dsus4 D
Married to the sky
[Verse 2]
G G/B Cadd9 Dsus4 D
And all around me… every blade of singing grass
B7+/G# Em7
Was calling out your name and
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
That our love would always last
G G/B
And inside every turning leaf
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
Is the pattern of an older tree
Em7 Bm7
The shape of our future
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
The shape of all our history
[Verse 3]
G G/B
And out of the confusion
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
Where the river meets the sea
B7+/G# Em7
Came things I’d never seen
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
Things I’d never seen
[Refrain]
Em7 Dm7 Cmaj7 B7+
I was brought … to my senses,
Em7 Dm7 Cmaj7 B7+
I was blind … but now that I can see
Em7 Dm7 F#m7-5 B7+ C9 A9
Every sign- post in na- ture, said you be-
[Verse 4]
G G/B
long to me, I know it’s true
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
It’s written in a sky as blue
Em Bm7
As blue as your eyes
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
As blue as your eyes
G G/B
If nature’s red in tooth and claw
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
Like winter’s freeze and summer’s thaw
B7+/G# Em7
The wounds she gave me
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
Were the wounds that would heal me
[Verse 5]
G G/B
And we’d be like the moon and sun
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
And when our courtly dance had run
Em Bm7
Its course across the sky
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
Then to-gether we would lie
G G/B
And out of the confusion
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
Where the river meets the sea
B7+/G# Em7
Something new would arrive
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
Something better would arrive
[Refrain]
Em7 Dm7 Cmaj7 B7+
I was brought … to my senses,
Em7 Dm7 Cmaj7 B7+
I was blind … but now that I can see
Em7 Dm7 F#7+9 B7+ C9 A9 F#9 F9 Em
Every sign- post in na- ture, said you be- long to me
