------ [Intro] F G C F Dm Em Am [Verse 1]
        Am                     Em
Is there no sign of light as we stand in the darkness?

Am              G Am   E7 Am E7
Watching the sun arise

        Am                   Em
Is there no sign of life as we gaze at the waters?

Am            G    Am    E7 Am E7
Into the strangers eyes
[Chorus]
    F      G     C     F 
And who are we to criticize, 

  Dm7       G7               Am    A9 Am7 A9
Or scorn the things that they do?

   F        G        C        F
For we shall seek and we shall find 

  Dm    Em Am
Ammonia Avenue
[Verse 2]
     Am                        Em
If we call for the proof and we question the answers

Am            G    Am     E7 Am E7
Only the doubt will grow

      Am                      Em
Are we blind to the truth or a sign to believe in?

Am           G    Am     E7 Am E7
Only the wise will know
[Verse 3]
   F       G         C      F
And word by word they handed down,

   Dm7        G7       Am    E7 Am E7
the light that shines today

   F         G       C        F
And those who came at first to scoff,

Dm        Em      Am
Remained behind to pray

   F         G       C        F
Yes those who came at first to scoff,

Dm        Em7     Am
remained behind to pray
[Solo] [Verse 4]
        Am                           Em
When you can't hear the rhyme and you can't see the reason

Am                 G  Am     E7 Am E7
Why should the hope remain?

     Am                        Em
For a man will be tired and his soul will grow weary

Am             G  Am     E7 Am E7
Living his life in vain
[Chorus]
    F      G     C     F 
And who are we to justify, 

  Dm7       G7     Am    E7 Am E7
The right in all we do?

   F    G       C       F
Until we seek, until we find 

  Dm    Em Am
Ammonia Avenue
[Bridge]
Dm             G 
Through all the doubt,

F           G
Somehow they knew
[Chorus]
   F        G           C        F 
And stone by stone, they built it high

  Dm7    G7        Am        E7 Am E7
Until the sun broke through

 F      G       C       F
A ray of hope. A shining light

  Dm    Em Am
