Won’t you say you are the one. Won’t you sing that to me. Won’t you pray the war is won. Won’t you blame me too.
B7_ _ _ _ E7_ _ _ _B7_ _ _ _ E7_ _ _ _ A7_ _ _ _ D7 _ _ _ _
There is light I hope instead as I lay awake in here. I feel trouble all inside. I hear voices of the dead, voices of the dead,
A-7_ _ _ _G-6_ _ A-7_ _ G7_ _ D-7_ _Ddim_ _ A-7_ _ _ _G-6_ _ _ _ A-7_ _ _ _F6_ _ _ _ G7_ _ _ _ C6_ _ _ _F7_ _ _ _ Bdim6_ _ _ _ E7_ _ _ _C6_ _ _ _ x 2
Won’t you rest and set aside old dressing from my woundbWon’t you heal your own heart now and bathe away my gloo-m

Won’t you say you are the one. Won’t you sing that to me. Won’t you pray the war is won. Won’t you blame me too.
Won’t you rest and set aside old dressing from my wound Won’t you heal your own heart now and bathe away my gloom

There is light I hope instead. As I lay awake in here. I feel trouble all inside. I hear voices of the dead.
Live on! Live on! Live on! Wretched raise the grail. Live on! Live on! Live on! Angels strike them down!
D-_ _ _ _F/c_ _ _ _C_ _ _ _G/b_ _ _ _
I know, I’ll never know just what you mean to me. I can’t look that deep inside your eyes. I’ll run the other way.
There is a love I fear it is just too strong for me to ever grasp. I grip too hard to life itself. My hand is numb in yours.
G-_ _D-/f_ _C/e_ _ _ _
There is light I hope instead. As I lay awake in here. I feel trouble all inside. I hear voices of the dead.
Live on! Live on! Live on! Wretched raise the grail. Live on! Live on! Live on! Angels strike them down!

So, drag me to the riverbed and drown me over again. You can’t kill a thing that’s dead, risen and spread its wings to fly.

Won’t you say you are the one? Won’t you say that to me? Take my hand, my hand is yours and bring me to pasture.
