Am              C              G
Blessed are the one way ticket holders
    
On a one way street
Am              C
Blessed are the midnight riders
                               G
For in the shadow of God they sleep
Am              C
Blessed are the huddled hikers
G
Staring out at falling rain
Am               C
Wondering at the retribution
                  Am                Em
In their personal acquaintance with pain
Am              C
Blessed are the blood relations
G
Of the young ones who have died
Am              C
Who had not the time or patience
                         G
To carry on this earthly ride


[Bridge]
Em                 C            G
Rain will come and winds will blow
Am                   C
Wild deer die in the mountain snow
Em                 C         G
Birds will beat at heaven's wall
Am                     C          D
What comes to one must come to us all


[Verse]
Am                C                G
For you and I are one way ticket holders

On a one way street
Am                  C      
Which lies across a golden valley
                                     G
Where the waters of joy and hope run deep
Am                 C               G
So if you pass the parents weeping

Of the young ones who have died
Am                C
Take them to your warmth and keeping
    C                         D
For blessed are the tears they cried
Am                C          D
And many were the years they tried
C                Am      D
Take them to that valley wide
C                           G
And let their souls be pacified
