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
