Am Em I kneel Am Em And wait in silence Am Em Am Em As one by one the people slip away Am Em Into the night Am Em The quiet and empty bodies Am Em Kiss the ground before they pray Am Em Kiss the ground and slip away I sit and listen dreamlessly A promise of salvation makes me stay then look at your face And feel my heart pushed in as all around the children play The games they tired of yesterday They play, they play F They play Am Em Am Em They play I stand and hear my voice cry out A wordless scream at ancient power It breaks against stone I softly leave you crying I cannot hold what you devour The sacrifice of penance in the holy hour You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  Em  F  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
