Chords

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: F C F C CG)
        C          F    
One morn I awakened

F                 C      CG   
And your sun was shining

C               Am    G
The sky was a kingdom

G
All covered with blood

G                      C
And the moon and the stars

F                           C      CG
Were the troops that lay conquered

C                   Am   G  
Like fruit left to wither

G               C    CG
All spiritual food

C                               F
And the spears of the bright sun

F                      C    CG
All brave with its conquest

C                Am   G
Did hover unearhtly

G
With banners of fire

                        C
And I knelt in the garden

F                    C    CG
and washed with the dawn

                      Am
The voice came so brightly

G              C
I covered my eyes

C                      F
Thank you for giving 

F                 C       CG
This bright new morning

C                        Am     G
So steeped seemed the evening

G                  C
In darkness and blood
G (stop!)- - Let there be no sadness - - - - - No sorrow - - - - - C G Let there be no road to narrow
C     
There'll be a new day

C         G
Yes its today

 C
its forever
(Note: repeat that last verse twice.)
