C Am Up those stone steps I climb Dm G Hail this joyful day's return C Am Into it's great shadowed vault I go G# Gm F Hail the Pentecostal morn The reading is from Luke 24 Where Christ returns to his loved ones I look at the stone apostles Think that it's alright for some And I wish that I was made of stone So that I would not have to see A beauty impossible to define A beauty impossible to believe A beauty impossible to endure The blood imparted in little sips The smell of you still on my hands As I bring the cup up to my lips No God up in the sky No devil beneath the sea Could do the job that you did, baby Of bringing me to my knees Outside I sit on the stone steps With nothing much to do Forlorn and exhausted, baby By the absence of you You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Dm  F  G  Gm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
