Chords

E
Oh, the village of the hill

        A
Sitting silently at will

          F#m           A          E
Like some prophecy forgotten by an age

E
With no guns before its gate

    A
The mysterious estate

     F#m             A                 E
Lies waiting for its history's dawning page

         A      A/G#   F#m             E
With the raging of the sea before its height

        A           A/G#       F#m              E    E  A  F#m   A   E
And the strength of those whom see beyond their sight

E
Oh, the smithies anvil rings

        A
And the symphony it sings

   F#m              A              E
No voice nor poet's pen can put to tune

E
And electric lines of force

     A
Ring around the humble lives

       F#m                 A             E
Of the souls that hear the master saying soon

         A           A/G#   F#m              E
With the clouds that gather near disturb the night

          A      A/G# F#m                 E  E    E  A  F#m   A   E
Striking flashes of a difference, fleeing fright

E
No slight of tongue nor hand

       A
Can so boldly there withstand

A        F#m            A                      E
When the spirit of it's truth shall speak the time

E
And no ignorance of life

       A
Can be held within the sight

       F#m           A                 E
Of the buttresses of ageless binds of time

    A        A/G#     F#m             E
The communion of the forces take delight

         A         A#G  F#m                  E  E    E  A  F#m   A   E
With the fear that no   tongues may read nor write

E
White Light

E
Oh the village of the hill

        A
Sitting silently still

         F#m              A                     E
With the strength of ages past they're still at hand

E
Reckons not to look behind

       A
But to look within and find

       F#m           A                  E
And to hear of those enlightened by the lamb

         A      A/G#  F#m                   E
With the powers of the wind both fierce and light

        A      A/G#   F#m                    E
And the waters of the storm went through the night
