Land Of The Living Skies

• D

D                       G
In the burning light of dawn
Em                       D
In the stillness of the morning
G                    G         D
He held her close he kissed her eyes
C                   G       D
Under a blanket of living skies. 

D                            G
They were lovers all through school
Em                 D
They always were together
G                  G      D
And on her hand a golden ring
C             G    D
Within which sat forever.

D                          G
But a young man's heart is brave
D                      G
The same brave boy she wed
Em               D
Has gone away in uniform 
G                     C
Sleeps in a soldier’s bed.

D                    G
In the colors of the East
Em                       C
In the blazing light of morning
G                          G      D
She dreamed of lands in a sweet sunrise
C                   G      D
Here in a land of living skies.

D                             G
So when the reverend came to call
Em                    D   
She did not need to answer
G                       G    D
She knew he'd met with his demise
C                         G      D
Gone to the land of the living skies.

D                     G
She put on her good clothes
D                     G
She stood out on the rise
Em                    D
She called his name aloud
G                     C
And these were his replies. 

D                       G
There is no more anger here
Em                      D
Nor is there cause for mourning
G                              G    D
In the untamed wheat and the feral rise
C                         G      D
Here in the land of the living skies.
 
D                      G
Grieve not for we who live
Em                     D
In the amber dawn of morning
G                              G    D
In the untamed wheat and the feral rise
C                         G      D
Here in the land of the living skies
C                         G      D
Here in the land of the living skies
C                         D      G
Here in the land of the living skies
