Artist: Joan Baez Song: Blessed Are (3:06) [Verse]
Am              C              G
Blessed are the one way ticket holders
On a one way street
Am              C
Blessed are the midnight riders

                               G
For in the shadow of God they sleep

Am              C
Blessed are the huddled hikers

G
Staring out at falling rain

Am               C
Wondering at the retribution

                  Am                Em
In their personal acquaintance with pain

Am              C
Blessed are the blood relations

G
Of the young ones who have died

Am              C
Who had not the time or patience

                         G
To carry on this earthly ride
[Bridge]
Em                 C            G
Rain will come and winds will blow

Am                   C
Wild deer die in the mountain snow

Em                 C         G
Birds will beat at heaven's wall

Am                     C          D
What comes to one must come to us all
[Verse]
Am                C                G
For you and I are one way ticket holders
On a one way street
Am                  C      
Which lies across a golden valley

                                     G
Where the waters of joy and hope run deep

Am                 C               G
So if you pass the parents weeping
Of the young ones who have died
Am                C
Take them to your warmth and keeping

    C                         D
For blessed are the tears they cried

Am                C          D
And many were the years they tried

C                Am      D
Take them to that valley wide

C                           G
And let their souls be pacified
