The Dove

    C                        Dm7
The storm cloud hangs on the hill
    G                         C
The thunder rolls through the plain
    C                           Dm7
And there goes that little bird still
      G7                          C
She's winging her way through the rain

    C                    Dm7
The buzzard stirs in his gloom
    G                         C
The jackal stalks through the shade
    F                        C
But clearing the dim edge of doom
    G7                        C
The dove makes her way on the brave

[Pre Chorus]
               Dm7
There goes the dove
G7             C
On through the day
                Dm7
There goes that little bird
G7          C
Winging her way

[Chorus]
         F
Over the dove
          C
Way up on high
           Dm7
There is a rainbow
G7           C
Spanning the sky

         F
Over the dove
          C
Way up on high
           Dm7
There is a rainbow
G7           C
Spanning the sky

[Verse 2]
    C                    Dm7
The rocket lights up the way
    G                        C
And sears her wings with its flame
    C                         Dm7
And night burns bright as the day
    G7                        C
The dove soars along just the same

    C                     Dm7
The guns sound off with a blast
    G                         C
And snarl at the dove on its course
    F                         C
But there she goes faithfully past
    G7                           C
And braves the full burst of the force

[Pre Chorus]
          Dm7
There she goes
G7             C
On through the day
                Dm7
There goes that little bird
G7          C
Winging her way

[Chorus]
         F
Over the dove
          C
Way up on high
           Dm7
There is a rainbow
G7           C
Spanning the sky

         F
Over the dove
          C
Way up on high
           Dm7
There is a rainbow
G7           C
Spanning the sky

[Verse 3]
    C                  Dm7
The people stir on the land
     G                         C
They lift up their face to the sky
   C                     Dm7
To see if the dove is at hand
    G7                        C
And watch her go breathlessly by

    C                      Dm7
The father stands with his son
    G                      C
The sister and brother are there
     F                         C
They lift up their heads every one
    G7                             C
The sound of their voice fills the air

[Pre Chorus]
          Dm7
There she goes
G7             C
On through the day
                Dm7
There goes that little bird
G7          C
Winging her way

[Chorus]
         F
Over the dove
          C
Way up on high
           Dm7
There is a rainbow
G7           C
Spanning the sky

         F
Over the dove
          C
Way up on high
           Dm7
There is a rainbow
G7           C
Spanning the sky

[Verse 4]
    C                    Dm7
The mother rich with her child
    G                 C
The lover lost in her love
   C                    Dm7
To welcome the feathery mild
    G7                  C
The sure the invincible dove

    C                        Dm7
And dreams of such things to be
    G                      C
The wind at peace with the waves
        F                      C
And the land at peace with the sea
        G7                      C
And the brave at peace with the brave

[Pre Chorus]
          Dm7
There she goes
G7             C
On through the day
                Dm7
There goes that little bird
G7          C
Winging her way

[Chorus]
         F
Over the dove
          C
Way up on high
           Dm7
There is a rainbow
G7           C
Spanning the sky

         F
Over the dove
          C
Way up on high
           Dm7
There is a rainbow
G7           C
Spanning the sky
