[Intro] Am E/A E7 Am E/A E7 [Verse 1]
    Am             Dm
The stars begin to fade

          E       E7      Am      C  F
The early morning mist is lifting

      Am             G               C        E7
As he wakes with the silence still unbroken

    Am                Dm
The night has rolled away

            E        E7          Am     C  F
The dawn is creeping through the window

      Am       E7               Am        E7
As he rubs the shadows from his eyes
[Verse 2]
    Am            Dm
The sun begins to rise

            E          E7     Am       C  F
To warm the room where he was sleeping

      Am                G                C        E7
As he reads through the headlines of the papers

    Am            Dm
The dew is fading fast

         E       E7          Am         C  F
As he is walking through the long grass

         Am          E7              Am        E7
With the church bell sounding in the tower
[Instrumental] Am Dm E E7 Am C F E7 Am E7 [Bridge]
   Am               F
He waits inside the door

    G                     C
The clock strikes out the hour

   Dm                    Am             E
He smiles, pausing for a word as they arrive

Am                 F
Farmers with their wives

G                   C
Children with their flowers

Dm              Am                E
Ladies in their bright mid-summer clothes
[Verse 4]
    Am                    Dm
The stained glass windows shine

          E      E7        Am      C  F
The congregation kneels in silence

                   E7    F  E
Then the organ and choir

                      Am    C  F
Join the birds in the trees

                   Am     E7      Am
As they sing their Sunday morning song
[Outro] Am E/A E7 Am E/A E7
