Ah-hmm
[Verse 1]
DJoseph rode Dsus2in on a Dbeam of light
DStray dogs to Dsus2welcome him, Dfights, corrugate Dmaj7/C#cathedrals
D7sus2/CThe sight of the pilgrims going nowhere in millions of E7sus4cars
[Verse 2]
DLagos a Dsus2dream in the Ddistance
DFrom promises Dsus2he'd made Dbehind
Where there was no Dmaj7/C#harvest
But he D7sus2/Cmissed the sky and its circus
And countless, the E7sus4stars
[Chorus]

The rivers are perfectly deep
And beautifully Bm9/F#wide

The mothers will sing you to sleep
And say, "It's alrBm9/F#ight, chiGadd2ld
It's alBm9/F#right"
