[Chorus]

C
Rest your weary head you twentieth century
F                                 C
Twentieth century rest your weary head
C
It's time to gather your strength for what lies ahead
    F                         C
And put this tired century to bed

[Verse 1]

           F             G              Cmaj7
I hear the calling of my ancestors they sing to me
           F             G             C
I hear the calling of my people on the shore
              Am             Em
They say it's time to take a rest
        Am      F
For our work is done
      Fmaj7          G          C
And I need to lay my weary body down

[Chrous]

C
Rest your weary head you twentieth century
F                                 C
Twentieth century rest your weary head
C
It's time to gather your strength for what lies ahead
    F                         C
And put this tired century to bed

[Verse 2]

       F
I know where I came from
    G                C
And I know where I'm going to
           F             G        C
And of the ignorance and into the unknown
       Am              Em7
I only stumbled on the light
        Am7              F
When my darkest hour had come
      Fmaj7              G               C
And I let my complete exhaustion lead me home
