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.)
