This is a Nick Cave cover that MMJ put on their Christmas album. It is a beautiful
song that was supposedly inspired by Amazing Grace.
(intro: C G C G CG)
G C One morn I awakened C G CG And your sun was shining G Em D The sky was a kingdom D All covered with blood D G And the moon and the stars C G CG Were the troops that lay conquered G Em D Like fruit left to wither D G CG All spiritual food G C And the spears of the bright sun C G CG All brave with its conquest G Em D Did hover unearhtly D With banners of fire G And I knelt in the garden C G CG and washed with the dawn Em The voice came so brightly D G I covered my eyes G C Thank you for giving C G CG This bright new morning G Em D So steeped seemed the evening D G In darkness and blood
G (stop!)- -
Let there be no sadness

No sorrow
- - - - - C G
Let there be no road to narrow
G There'll be a new day G D Yes its today G its forever
