This is a Nick Cave cover that MMJ put on their Christmas album. It is a beautiful
song that was supposedly inspired by Amazing Grace.

One mornG I awakenedC

And your sun was shining
GThe sky was a kiEmngdom D
DAll covered with blood
DAnd the moon and the stGars

Were the troops that lay conquered
GLike fruit left to wEmitherD

All spiritual food
GAnd the spears of the bright sunC

All brave with its conquest
GDid hover unearhtEmly D
DWith banners of fire
And I knelt in the gardeGn

and washed with the dawn
The voice came so brigEmhtly
DI covered my eyGes
GThank you for giving C

GSo steeped seemed the eveEmning D
