I don't do much of an intro - only a couple of measures on the G. These chords should work for
either guitar or baritone ukulele in standard tuning. Such a beautiful song and such an important message!
[Verse]
GI heard an owl call last night, Dhomeless and confused
CI stood naked and bewildered at the evil people Ddo.
GAnd up upon a hill there iDs a terrible sign
That tells the Cstory of what Emdarkness waits
If we leCave the liDght beGhind.
[Chorus]
EmSo don't tell Dme hate is evGer right or GodC's will
GThese are wheels we've put in Dmotion ourselves
EmAnd the whole woDrld weeps Gand is weepCing still
Though Gshaken I still believe the Dbest of what we all can be
And the Conly peace this Emworld will know
Can Conly Dcome from GLove.
[Verse]
GI am a voice that's calliDng out across the great divide
And CI am only one person who feels they havDe to try
The Gquestions fall like trees or dust, Drise like prayers above
But the Conly word is Em'courage' and the Conly Danswer 'GLove'.
[Chorus]
EmSo don't tell Dme hate is evGer right or GodC's will
GThese are wheels we've put in Dmotion ourselves
EmAnd the whole woDrld weeps Gand is weepCing still
Though Gshaken I still believe the Dbest of what we all can be
And the Conly peace this Emworld will know
Can Conly Dcome from GLove.
[Verse]
GLight every candle that you can; Dwe need the light to see
In thesCe days of deepest loss treat each other tendDerly
GThe arms of God will gather in Deach sparrow that falls
But Cmakes no separEmation - just Cfiercely Dloves us Gall
[Chorus]
EmSo don't tell Dme hate is evGer right or GodC's will
GThese are wheels we've put in Dmotion ourselves
EmAnd the whole woDrld weeps Gand is weepCing still
Though Gshaken I still believe the Dbest of what we all can be
And the Conly peace this Emworld will know
Can Conly Dcome from GLove.
