The Pearl - (live)(Ukulele chords)

	        

A                         E     A 
Oh, 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 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 poorly shod 
D                  A 
We lift our prayer against the odds 
E                           D             E       A 
And fear the silence is the voice of God, of God, of God 
           D      A    D      A 
And we cry Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
      F#m D A E A 
We cry Hallelujah 


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 brutal but a careless thief 
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 Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
      F#m D A E A 
We cry Hallelujah 

A                                     E       A 
So there will 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 Galilee 

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 Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
      F#m D A E A 
We cry Hallelujah.
