{verse}
C           D/Am     Am                       F
 Take these shoes... Click clacking down some dead end street
C           D/Am                F   D/Am   (repeat pattern)
 Take these shoes And make them fit
 Take this shirt Polyester white trash made in nowhere
 Take this shirt And make it clean, clean
 Take this soul Stranded in some skin and bones
 Take this soul And make it sing

Take these hands Teach them what to carry
Take these hands Don't make a fist
Take this mouth So quick to criticise
Take this mouth Give it a kiss

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the

The sun is coming up on the ocean
     Am                         F
This love is like a drop in the ocean
     Am                         F      Dsus
This love is like a drop in the ocean

{chorus}

Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, tell me now
Why the dark before the dawn?
