Am Em
Is there no sign of light as we stand in the darkness?
Am GAm A9,Am7,A9
Watching the sun arise
Am Em
Is there no sign of life as we gaze at the waters?
Am G Am A9,Am7,A9
Into the strangers eyes
F G C F
And who are we to criticize or
Dm7 G7 Am A9,Am7,A9
scorn the things that they do?
F G C F
For we shall seek and we shall find
Dm Em Am
Ammonia Avenue
Am Em
If we call for the proof and we question the answers
Am G Am A9,Am7,A9
Only the doubt will grow
Am Em
Are we blind to the truth or a sign to believe in?
Am G Am A9,Am7,A9
Only the wise will know
F G C F
And word by word they handed down
Dm7 G7 Am A9,Am7,A9
the light that shines today
F G C F
And those who came at first to scoff,
Dm Em Am
Remained behind to pray
F G C F
Yes those who came at first to scoff,
Dm Em7 Am
remained behind to pray
Am Em
When you can't hear the rhyme and you can't see the reason
Am G A A9,Am7,A9
Why should the hope remain?
Am Em
For a man will be tired and his soul will grow weary
Am G Am A9,Am7,A9
Living his life in vain
F G C F
And who are we to justify
Dm7 G7 Am A9,Am7,A9
the right in all we do?
F G C F
Until we seek until we find
Dm Em Am
Ammonia Avenue
Dm G
Through all the doubt
F G
somehow they knew
F G C F
And stone by stone they built it high
Dm7 G7 Am
Until the sun broke through
F G C F
A ray of hope, a shining light
Dm Em Am
