A Thousand Suns
*To prevent confusion to those who are unsure of this information, the
submediant Bm(vi) and subdominant A(IV) chords are in first inversion when
the backslash (/) is shown, providing the bass note after (e.g. A/E
translates to playing an A Major chord with an E as the bass note). Enjoy!

I can hear the ancients
D G A/EF#
Calling out
D G D
They're praying for patience
D G A/EF#
Shining down
D G D
But their light has faded
D G A/EF#
Like the sun
D G D
And I'm persuaded
D G Bm/F# A/EA/EF#
That nothing now can be done
D GBm
Can't even hear them now
D GAm
Their light is glowing dim
D Bm
And I've been covering, covering ground
D Am
Climbing barriers between us now
D
We'd wait...
DGBA
D G Am
Can't even see them now
D GAm
The arc swing again
D GAm
And I've been covering, covering ground
D GAm
Crossing barriers that still surround
D
We wait...
A thousand suns
We wait for them
D
The fallen ones
D
Will wake again
