[Intro]
[Am G F E](X2)

        Am                 Dm                    E
He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
        Am                    Dm                    E
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
        Am                  Dm              E
He came bathed in light and splendor and glory
        Am                        Dm             E
I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me

[Am Dm E](X2)

        Am               Dm           E
He said dance for me, fanciulla gentil
        Am                   Dm                 E
He said laugh a while, I can make your heart feel
        Am                     Dm                 E
He said fly with me, touch the face of the true god
         Am                  Dm            E
And then cry with joy at the depth of my love
Am                      Dm
Cause I've prayed days, I've prayed nights
E
For the lord just to send me home some sign
Am                Dm
I've looked long, I've looked far
E                                     Am
To bring peace to my black and empty heart
Dm  E   E   Am  Dm  E   E
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Aaaaah

[Am Dm E](X4)

    Am                     Dm              E
My love will stay till the river bed run dry
       Am                     Dm             E
And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky
   Am                Dm              E
I love him longer as each damn day goes
    Am              Dm           E
The man is gone and heaven only knows
Am                     G
Cause I've cried days, I've cried nights
F              E
For the lord just to send me up some sign
Am          G
Is he near? Is he far?
F               E
Bring peace to my black and empty heart
Am           G
So long day, so long night
F            E
Oh lord, be near me tonight
Am          G
Is he near? Is he far?
F                 E
Bring peace to my black and empty heart
Am G F E
Aaaaah
Am G F E
