Still Believing --- Thom Moore

Thom called this "a pagan anthem."

 

[D]Night owns my [Dmaj7]white bones, but

[G]What’s left is [A7]still saying

[D]Strange prayers in [Dmaj7]high places.

[G]Wild airs with [A7]wilder graces,

[D]Birds fly with [Dmaj7]no motion,

[G]What draws me, [A7]draws the ocean.

 

          [D]Down on my knees again

          [Dmaj7]Still believing,

          [G]In the time of [A7]reason no more.

          [D]Down on my knees again,

          [Dmaj7]Still believing,

          [G]Peace of mind is [A7]worth any chore.

 

[D]Great dreams and [Dmaj7]laid schemes

Just [G]blown down by [A7]high winds.

And [D]strong signs from [Dmaj7]old forces,

[G]Wild dogs run [A7]trackless courses.

[D]Night changes [Dmaj7]sweet mountain,

[G]Vain hopes need [A7]cold fountains.

 

          [D]Down on my knees again

          [Dmaj7]Still believing,

          [G]In the time of [A7]reason no more.

          [D]Down on my knees again,

          [Dmaj7]Still believing,

          [G]Peace of mind is [A7]worth any chore.

 

[D]Night owns my [Dmaj7]white bones, but

[G]What’s left is [A7]still saying

[D]Strange prayers in [Dmaj7]high places.

[G]Wild airs with [A7]wilder graces,

[D]Birds fly with [Dmaj7]no motion,

[G]What draws me, [A7]draws the ocean.

 

          [D]Down on my knees again

          [Dmaj7]Still believing,

          [G]In the time of [A7]reason no more.

          [D]Down on my knees again,

          [Dmaj7]Still believing,

          [G]Peace of mind is [A7]worth any chore.
