Emmylou Harris The Pearl written by Emmylou Harris
A E A
O the dragons are gonna fly tonight
A E A
They're circling low and inside tonight
F#m D A
It's another round in the losing fight
C#m E A
Out along the great divide tonight
A E A
We are aging soldiers in an ancient war
E A
Seeking out some half remembered shore
F#m D A
We drink our fill and still we thirst for more
C#m E A
Asking if there's no heaven what is this hunger for
D A
Our path is worn our feet are poorly shod
D A
We lift up our prayer against the odds
E D A E A
And fear the silence is the voice of God of God of God
D A D A
And we cry Allelujah Allelujah
F#m D A E A
We cry Allelujah
A E A
Sorrow is constant and the joys are brief
A E A
The seasons come and bring no sweet relief
F#m D A
Time is a brutal but a careless theif
C#m E A
Who takes our lot but leaves behind the grief
D A
It is the heart that kills us in the end
D A
Just one more old broken bone that cannot mend
E D A E A
As it was now and ever shall be amen amen amen
D A D A
And we cry Allelujah Allelujah
F#m D A E A
We cry Allelujah
A E A
So there'll be no guiding light for you and me
A E A
We are not sailors lost out on the sea
F#m D A
We were always headed toward eternity
C#m E A
Hoping for a glimpse of Gaililee
D A
Like falling stars from the universe we are hurled
D A
Down through the long loneliness of the world
E D A E A
Until we behold the pain become the pearl the pearl the pearl
D A D A
And we cry Allelujah Allelujah
F#m D A E A
We cry Allelujah
