Capo 1

AmEm
Is there no sign of light as we stand in the darkness?
AmGAmA9,Am7,A9
Watching the sun arise
AmEm
Is there no sign of life as we gaze at the waters?
AmGAmA9,Am7,A9
Into the strangers eyes
FGCF
And who are we to criticize or
Dm7G7AmA9,Am7,A9
scorn the things that they do?
FGCF
For we shall seek and we shall find
DmEmAm
Ammonia Avenue
AmEm
If we call for the proof and we question the answers
AmGAmA9,Am7,A9
Only the doubt will grow
AmEm
Are we blind to the truth or a sign to believe in?
AmGAmA9,Am7,A9
Only the wise will know
FGCF
And word by word they handed down
Dm7G7AmA9,Am7,A9
the light that shines today
FGCF
And those who came at first to scoff,
DmEmAm
Remained behind to pray
FGCF
Yes those who came at first to scoff,
DmEm7Am
remained behind to pray
AmEm
When you can't hear the rhyme and you can't see the reason
AmGAA9,Am7,A9
Why should the hope remain?
AmEm
For a man will be tired and his soul will grow weary
AmGAmA9,Am7,A9
Living his life in vain
FGCF
And who are we to justify
Dm7G7AmA9,Am7,A9
the right in all we do?
FGCF
Until we seek until we find
DmEmAm
Ammonia Avenue
DmG
Through all the doubt
FG
somehow they knew
FGCF
And stone by stone they built it high
Dm7G7Am
Until the sun broke through
FGCF
A ray of hope, a shining light
DmEmAm
Ammonia Avenue
