Beneath A Phrygian Sky(Chords)

	        
Intro: Am  Em  Am  Em  Am 

    Am        F       C  G           Am                F   G 
The moonlight it was dancing On the waves, out on the sea 
    Am       F      C  G          Am             Em 
The stars of heaven hovered In a shimmering galaxy 
   F                   G        Am             Em 
A voice from down the ages So haunting in its song 
      Am       F           C   G       Am       Dm        Am 
These ancient stones will tell us Our love must make us strong 


Em  Am  Em 

    Am        F         C     G       Am                 F    G 
The breeze it wrapped around me As I stood there on the shore 
    Am       F       C  G             Am            Em 
And listened to this voice Like I've never heard before 
    F                G           Am                Em 
Our battles they may find us No choice may ours to be 
    Am       F      C    G      Am         Dm     Am 
But hold the banner proudly The truth will set us free 


Em  Am  Em  Am  Em  Am  Em 

   Am        F       C        G         Am          F     G 
My mind was called across the years Of rages and of strife 
   Am      F     C   G      Am               Em 
Of all the human misery And all the waste of life 
   F                   G             Am              Em 
We wondered where our God was In the face of so much pain 
  Am        F      C      G       Am        Dm   Am 
I looked up to the stars above To find you once again 


Em  Am  Em 

| Am    F | C    G  | Am     | F    G | 
| Am    F | C    G  | Am     | Em     | 
| F       | G       | Am     | Em     | 
| Am    F | C    G  | Am  Dm | Am     | 


Em  Am  Em 

   Am        F        C G          Am             F    G 
We travelled the wide oceans Heard many call your name 
     Am         F       C   G     Am                  Em 
With sword and gun and hatred It all seemed much the same 
      F                   G         Am                 Em 
Some used your name for glory Some used it for their gain 
         Am    F     C   G       Am         Dm      Am 
Yet when liberty lay wanting No lives were lost in vain 


Em  Am  Em 

      Am      F        C   G         Am                F     G 
Is it not our place to wonder As the sky does weep with tears 
    Am       F      C   G         Am             Em 
And all the living creatures Look on with mortal fear 
      F                G            Am              Em 
It is ours to hold the banner It is ours to hold it long 
      Am       F     C  G        Am        Dm      Am 
It is ours to carry forward Our love must make us strong 


Em  Am  Em  Am  Em  Am  Em 

    Am      F        C   G        Am           F     G 
And as the warm wind carried Its song into the night 
   Am        F        C  G      Am             Em 
I closed my eyes and tarried Until the morning light 
       F            G                 Am                 Em 
As the last star it shimmered And the new sun's day gave birth 
       Am       F    C  G             Am         Dm      Am 
It was in this magic moment Came this prayer for mother earth 


Em  Am  Em 

    Am         F     C  G           Am                F   G 
The moonlight it was dancing On the waves, out on the sea 
     Am      F      C G          Am             Em 
The stars of heaven hovered In a shimmering galaxy 
   F                   G       Am             Em 
A voice from down the ages So haunting in its song 
    Am       F           C   G        Am        Dm      Am 
The ancient stones will tell us  Our love must make us strong. 

Em  Am  Em  Am  Em and fade
