The Pearl Emmylou Harris
Oh, the dragons [A]are gonna fly tonight[E] [A]
[A]They're circling low and [E]inside [A]tonight
[F#m]It's another [D]round in the [A]losing fight
[C#m]Out [E]along the great divide [A]tonight
[A]We are soldiers in an [E]ancient [A]war
Seeking out some half [E]remembered [A]shore
[F#m]We drink our [D]fill and still we [A]thirst for more
[C#m]Asking if there's no [E]heaven what is this [A]hunger for
[D]Our path is worn our feet [A]poorly shod
[D]We lift our prayer [A]against the odds
[E]And fear the silence is the [D]voice of God, [E]of God, [A]of God
And we cry [D]Hallelu[A]jah, [D]Hallelu[A]jah
We cry[F#m] Hal[D]le[A]lu[E]ja[A]h
[A]Sorrow is constant and the [E]joys are [A]brief
[A]The seasons come and bring no [E]sweet [A]relief
[F#m]Time is [D]brutal but a [A]careless thief
[C#m]Who takes our [E]lot but leaves [A]behind the grief
[D]It is the heart that kills us [A]in the end
[D]Just one more old broken [A]bone that cannot mend
[E]As it was now and ever [D]shall be, [A]Amen, [E]Amen, A[A]men
And we cry [D]Hallelu[A]jah, [D]Hallelu[A]jah
We cry[F#m] Hal[D]le[A]lu[E]ja[A]h
[A]So there will be no guiding light for [E]you and [A]me
[A]We are not sailors lost out [E]on the [A]sea
[F#m]We were always [D]headed toward [A]eternity
[C#m]Hoping [E]for a glimpse of [A]Galilee
[D]Like falling stars from the [A]Universe we are hurled
[D]Down through the long [A]loneliness of the world
[E]Until we behold the pain [D]become T[A]he Pearl, [E]The Pearl, [A]The Pearl
And we cry [D]Hallelu[A]jah, [D]Hallelu[A]jah
We cry[F#m] Hal[D]le[A]lu[E]ja[A]h.
