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