[Intro]
Bm A G A
[Verse 1]
Bm Watching them come and go A The templars and the Saracens G They're traveling the holy land A Opening telegrams Bm Torture comes and torture goes A Knights who'd give you anything G They bear the cross of coeur de lion A F# Salvation for the mirror blind G F Cm Cm7 But if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky C G Cm [Riff 2] Pray and the heathen lie will disappear
[Chorus]
G A7add4 Prayers they hide the saddest view Bb6 A7add4 Believing the strangest things, loving the alien G A7add4 And your prayers they break the sky in two Bb6 A7add4 Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
[Verse 2]
Bm Thinking of a different time A Palestine a modern problem G Bounty and your wealth in land A Terror in a best laid plan Bm Watching them come and go A Tomorrows and the yesterdays G Christians and the unbelievers A F# Hanging by the cross and nail G F Cm Cm7 But if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky C G Cm [Riff 2] Pray and the heathen lie will disappear G A7add4 Prayers they hide the saddest view Bb6 A7add4 Believing the strangest things, loving the alien G A7add4 And your prayers they break the sky in two Bb6 A7add4 Believing the strangest things, loving the alien G A7add4 You'll pray till the break of Dawn Bb6 A7add4 Believing the strangest things, loving the alien G A7add4 And you'll believe you're loving the alien Bb6 A7add4 Believing the strangest things, loving the alien Bb6 A7add4 Believeing the strangest things loving the alien
The way Gerry Leonard plays the A7 and Bb's is to move the G chord shape up
E A D G B e A7add4 = 5 4 0 0 5 5
Bb6 = 6 5 0 0 6 6
Those chords are named relative to the capo being on the 1st fret.
Remember there are many many ways to play these chords, but I've studied
the DVD and am almost sure this is correct.
