Jeff Beck – Elegy For Dunkirk (Guitar)

 Bm                          A
Dear Lord and Father of mankind,

 G                  F#m
Forgive our foolish ways!

      G         A
Re-clothe us in our rightful mind,

 Bm            C
In purer lives thy service find,

 Bm                 A
In deeper reverence praise.

 G
In deeper reverence praise.

 D     A                Bm
In simple trust like theirs who heard,

   A              D
Beside the Syrian sea,

  G                      A
The gracious calling of the Lord,

 Bm                  C
Let us, like them, without a word

    Bm             A
Rise up and follow thee.

    G              D
Rise up and follow thee.

 Bm               A
O Sabbath rest by Galilee!

 G               F#m
O calm of hills above,

  G                   A
Where Jesus knelt to share with thee

 Bm             C
The silence of eternity,

 Bm            A
Interpreted by love!

 G
Interpreted by love!

 D     A                Bm
Drop thy still dews of quietness,

   A                       D
Till all our strivings cease,

  G                      A
Take from our souls the strain and stress,

 Bm                  C
And let our ordered lives confess

    Bm             A
The beauty of thy peace.

    G              D
The beauty of thy peace.

 Bm                          A
Breathe through the heats of our desire

 G                    F#m
Thy coolness and thy balm,

      G                 A
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire,

 Bm                            C
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,

 Bm                    A
O still small voice of calm!

G
O still small voice of calm!
