Chords

This version is from the Live at Bangor Abbey CD. Don't be put off by the complex-looking chords. I've charted them below FYI. It's easy enough to substitute more simplified chords & still have it sounding pretty good. C x32010 Csus2 x30010 Csus2/B x20010 Am7 x02010 G7sus4 323002 Fmaj7 133210 G6sus4 320010 Em7/B x20030 Am7#5 x03010 F 133211 [Intro] C Csus2 C Csus2/B Am7 G7sus4 Fmaj7 G7sus4 Csus2 C G7sus4 C [Verse]

G6sus4   C                  Em7/B
If there's one thing that I know

Csus2      C             Fmaj7
It is that two shades of hope

C                    Csus2/B
One the enlightening soul

        Am7                  G6sus4
And the other is more like a hangman's rope

[Pre-Chorus]

          Fmaj7                      G7sus4
Well it's true, you may reap what you sow

                Am7#5
But not that despair is the all-time low

[Chorus]

G7sus4  C                  G7sus4 Csus2 C
Baby,   hope deals the the ha- ardest blows

C G7sus4 Csus2 C [Verse]

G6sus4    C              Em7/B
There was once someone I loved

        C                    Fmaj7
And his heart overflowed his cup

F       C                    Csus2/B
And his shoes got covered in blood

       Am7
Oh but he never knew

         G6sus4
Cause he only looked up

[Pre-Chorus]

     Fmaj7             G7sus4
Well he was a troubled soul

           Am7#5                 Csus2/B  G6sus4
And he saw pain more than most I know

[Chorus]

           C                  G7sus4 Csus2  C
Yet it was hope that dealt the ha- ardest blows

C G7sus4 Csus2 C [Verse]

G6sus4 C                 Em7/B
And    too the girl that holds the hand

     C                Fmaj7
Of a somewhat distant man

F            C                 Csus2/B
Though she'd do everything she can

          Am7                  G6sus4
Still his heart set sail for a distant land

[Pre-Chorus]

        Fmaj7                   G7sus4
And she wonders sometimes if he knows

              Am7#5           G6sus4
How she feels like a trampled rose

[Chorus]

      C                 G7sus4 Csus2 C
Baby, hope deals the the ha- ardest blows

C G7sus4 Csus2 C [Instrumental]

C    Csus2/B   Am7   G7sus4
Oooh, oh oh

Fmaj7   G7sus4  Csus2  C   G7sus4  C
Oooh, oh oh

[Verse]

G6sus4     C                  Em7/B
Well  some people think their sins

          C                    Fmaj7
Cause the cancer that's eating into them

F       C                 Csus2/B
And the only way they can win

          Am7                   G6sus4
Is by the healing of somebody's hands on their skin

[Pre-Chorus]

    Fmaj7 G7sus4            Am7#5           G6sus4
And pra-a-yin, but when the cancer does not go

[Chorus]

       C             G7sus4 Csus2 C
Surely hope dealt the ha- ardest blows

C G7sus4 Csus2 C [Verse]

G6sus4  C                    Em7/B
And now all these truths are sold

     C             Fmaj7
With foundations below them

F         C                  Csus2/B
That were dug out in winter's cold

[Bridge]

                 Am7#5             G6sus4        Fmaj7  F G7sus4 Am7#5
When the world stole our young and prayed on the old

[Outro]

     C                G7sus4 Csus2 C
Well hope deals in the ha- ardest blows

             Csus4   G6sus4  C
Yet I cannot help myself but hope

G7sus4 Csus2 C

C              Fmaj7
I guess that's why love hurts

G7sus4
And heartache stings

        Am7#5
And despair is never worse

            G7sus4
Than the despair that it brings

    C              G7sus4     Am7#5
But hope deals the ha- ardest blows, dear

    C  G7sus4 Fmaj7
The ha-ardest blows, dear

    G7sus4 Csus2 C    G7sus4
The ha-ardest    blows

C G7sus4 Csus2 C
