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.
(intro: F C F C CG)
One mornC I awakenedF
F C CG
And your sun was shining
CThe sky was a kiAmngdom G
GAll covered with blood
GAnd the moon and the stCars

Were the troops that lay conquered
CLike fruit left to wAmitherG

All spiritual food
CAnd the spears of the bright sunF
F C CG
All brave with its conquest
CDid hover unearhtAmly G
GWith banners of fire
And I knelt in the gardeCn
F C CG
and washed with the dawn
The voice came so brigAmhtly
GI covered my eyCes
CThank you for giving F

This bright new morning
CSo steeped seemed the eveAmning G
GIn darkness and bloCod
