CHORUS:
As heavy as a h[Em]istory book can be,
I will carr[G]y it with me, oh Lor[C]d.[G] [Bm]
And maybe when the [Em]bitterness has gone,
There'll be sw[G]eetness on our tongues once mo[C]re.[G] [Bm]
VERSE 3: Play the verse tab once.
CHORUS: Same as before.
BRIDGE:
We'll[F] soon forget our parents' n[C]ames,[G]
Like d[F]ogs will drive the wolves aw[C]ay.[G]
And weep[F] with fingertips opposed,[C]
Like a churc[G]h where nobody congre[F]gates.[G] [F]
OUTRO VERSE:
[Am] But [F]sweetness s[G]ings in the [C]pasture,
[Am] We t[F]hrow oursel[G]ves on the m[C]ercy of the earth.
[Am] If s[F]and and sal[G]t have the a[C]nswer,
[Am] Then[F] the act it[G]self will be[C] louder than the word.
[Am] A[F]nd I'll be on your [G]side, and I'll [C]be on your side.
[Am] [F] [G] [C]
[Am] A[F]nd I'll be on your [G]side, and I'll [C]be on your side.
[Am] [F] [G] [C]
Am F G C goes on for the rest of the song
