Gadd9

[Verse]

Gadd9                  D/F#  Gadd9          A       F#m7     Bm9
Source of all we hope or dread, sheep dog, jackal, rattler, swan
Gadd9                 D/F#          Gadd9         D/F#            Dm/F
We hunt your face and long to trust that your hid mouth will say again
 Em7  D/F# Gadd9  A   Bm11   Cadd9  D/F#   G
"Let there  be  light,"    a clear new day
A              Bm7              C      Dbm
  But when we thirst in this dry night
A               G/B       C                 D              E7sus4  E
  We drink from hot wells poisoned with the blood of children
A             D/F#             G             A    D/A
  And when we strain to hear a steady homing beam
A              D/F#        Gadd9
  Our ears are balked by stifled moans
A      Bm11              A          Gadd9                     A   Bm11
  And howls of desolation from the throats of sisters, brother, wild men
A   Gadd9           Dm/F      E7sus4      E D/F#
  Clawing at the gates for bread
G              A         D   A          D       Em7        A
  Even our own feeble hands aim to seize the crown you wear
     Em7        D/F#   G         A       G         A        Bm7         E    D/F# G
And work our private havoc through the known and unknown lands of space
             A           D    A            D      Em7      A
Absolute in flame beyond us, seed and source of Dark and Day
 Em7     D/F#    G      A      G       A       Bm7    E   D/F#
Maker whom we beg to meet our mother father comrade mate
Gadd9                       D/F#    Gadd9       A      F#m7      Bm11
     Till our few atoms blow to dust or form again in wiser lives
Gadd9                         D/F#      Gadd9          D/F#            Dm/F  Em7 D/F# 
     Or find your face and hear our name in your calm voice the end of night if dark  
Gadd9  A   Bm11
may   end
Em7          D/F#     G       A  Bm7 Cadd9 Dadd9  Eadd9
Well spring gold of dark and day, be here,   be    now
