Chords

[Verse 1]
    C             C
The angel Moroni asleep in the carport

         C                   F
With the newspaper under his arm

    G                    G
It seems I was late to deliver his car keys

      G                            C
So it looks like we are staying behind

    C
Was Lucifer bashful

   C                        F
In hiding his face from the Lord

     G
Dear Jesus, forgive me

    G                   C
I'm only doing as I was told

    C
For as it is written

       C                        F
I will soon one day face my own fire

     G
This world will go with me

         G                       C
If I can just get them all on my side
[Chorus]
      F       G            C
Carry me over rainbows and Rainier

      F       G            C
Carry me over rainbows and Rainier
[Verse 3]
      C
I was late to the parlor

         C
When the wind it blew forward

    C                      F
And demanded we get out of town

   G
So me and Moroni

         G            G
Took the keys to the steeple

     G                       C
And awaited Armageddon to go down

           C
Place your queens on the table

        C
Who are weeping for your daughters

        C                             F
Who are waiting for their Sunday to return

      G
Every heart will be broken

   G
Prophetic poems spoken

         G                          C
From the mouths of every baby to be born
[Chorus]
      F       G            C
Carry me over rainbows and Rainier

      F       G            C
Carry me over rainbows and Rainier
[Bridge]
Am                 G
 Let your cries be enjoyed

       F                           C    C/B
Let it always and forever fill the void

Am                    G
  Allow my heart some room
F G [walk up on the 5th string 0-2-3 then 4th string 0-2) May it be so that you'll one day need me soon [Verse 4]
   C
My wheels that are turning

       C
And my back to the window

     C                          F
I collected every wave from the shore

  G                     G
I forgot I was human... [pause]

                 G
And I laid up my emotions

                        G             C
And I knocked them like dishes to the floor
[Chorus]
      F       G            C
Carry me over rainbows and Rainier

      F       G            C        C F C
Carry me over rainbows and Rainier
