The Color Green (Gloria in Excelsis)(Chords)

	        vamp: 
     Am    F      C     Dm     Em 
|:{  /  /  /  }{  /  /  /  }{  /  /  /  }:| 
--------------------------------- 
C
And the moon is a sliver of silver 
	             F2 
Like a shaving that fell on the floor of a Carpenter's shop 
    Dm 
And every house must have it's builder 
    Am 
And I awoke in the house of God 
	  C2 
Where the windows are mornings and evenings 
	           F2 
Stretched from the sun, across the sky north to south 
    Dm			       F2 
And on my way to early meeting 
	     Am				  Gsus		G 
I heard the rocks crying out, I heard the rocks crying out 
 
Chorus: 
   Bb				      Fmaj7 
Be praised for all Your tenderness by these works of Your hands 
           Dm			     		 Am		    Em 
Suns that rise and rains that fall to bless and bring to life Your land 
      Bb				Fmaj7 
Look down upon this winter wheat and be glad that You have made 
      Dm	         Am         Bb 
Blue for the sky and the color green 
      F2	       Em/G   VAMP2x (Am G/B  C2sus) 
That fills Your fields with praise 
 
	Csus2 
And the wrens have returned and are nesting 
			F2 
In the hollow of that oak where his heart once had been 
Dm2					         Am2 
And he lifts up his arms in a blessing for being born again 
	 C2 
And the streams are all swollen with winter 
	  Fmaj9 
Winter unfrozen and free to run away now 
Dm			F2	     Am 
And I'm amazed and I remember Who it was that built this house 
	     Gsus         G 
And with the rocks I cry out 
 
Chorus 
	   Am         Bb   F 
...and the color green
