[Verse 1]
G             C         G     C
Jacob’s heart bent with fear
       G             C          D    Am
Like a bow with death for its arrow
   D                G       C     G       Am
In vain he searched for the final truth
           G            D       G
To set his soul free of doubt


[Verse 2]
             C        G       C
Over the mountains he walked
         G          C                D     Am  D
With his head bent, searching for reasons
               G      C       G       C
Then he called out to god for help
                   G        D       Em
And climbed to the top of a hill


[Bridge]
                                          A        Em
Wind swept the sunlight through the wheat fields
                               A
In the orchard the nightingale sang
          C                             F
While the plums that she broke with her brown beak
  C                       D       G
Tomorrow would turn in to songs



[Verse 3]
                 C           G     C
Then she flew up through the rain
         G          C                D      Am  D
With the sun silver bright on her feathers
          G        C          G       C
Jacob put back his frowns and sighed
           G             Bm
And walked back down the hill
            C               Am
God doesn’t answer me and
             G  C  G  C  G  C  D
And he never will______
