CHORDS

Sounds nice playing with many guitars using different tunings (which is 
probably what BJH did on their recording, too):

         VERSION 1     VERSION 2    VERSION 3
         Standard      (Drop-D      (Open-E)
                        + capo 2nd)        G#
         E-A-D-G-B-e   D-A-D-G-B-e   E-B-E- -B-e
E        0-2-2-1-0-0   0-0-0-2-3-2   0-0-0-0-0-0
Esus4    0-2-2-2-0-0   0-0-0-2-3-3   0-0-0-1-0-0

| E Esus4 | E Esus4 |


[Verse 1]
E                      Aadd9/E       E 
 Valley's deep and the mountain's so high,
       Aadd9/E                                           | E Esus4 |
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side 
E                             Aadd9/E     E 
 You stand up there with your head in the clouds,
      Aadd9/E                                 E
Don't try to fly, you know you might not come down 
      Aadd9/E
Don't try to fly near God
Aadd9/E                | E Esus4 | E Esus4 |
   You might not come down 


[Verse 2]
E                     Aadd9/E
 Jesus came down from Heaven to earth 
    Aadd9/E                     | E Esus4 | 
The people said it was a virgin birth 
E                     Aadd9/E   E 
 Jesus came down from Heaven to earth 
    Aadd9/E                     E 
The people said it was a virgin birth 
    Aadd9/E
The people said it was
Aadd9/E     | E Esus4 | E Esus4 |
   A virgin birth 


[Verse 3]
E                      Aadd9/E E 
 He told great stories of the  Lord 
    Aadd9/E                       E 
And said He was the saviour of us all 
E                      Aadd9/E E     
 He told great stories of the  Lord 
    Aadd9/E                       E
And said He was the saviour of us all,
     Aadd9/E                     
And said He was the saviour
Aadd9/E  | E Esus4 | E Esus4 |
   Of us all 


[Verse 4]
E                        Aadd9/E       E 
 For this we killed Him, nailed Him up high 
   Aadd9/E                     | E Esus4 |
He rose again as if to ask us why 
E                 Aadd9/E  E 
 Then He ascended into the sky
    Aadd9/E                    E   
As if to say in God alone you soar
    Aadd9/E
As if to say in God
Aadd9/E     | E Esus4 | E Esus4 |
   Alone we fly 


[Verse 5]
E                      Aadd9/E       E 
 Valley's deep and the mountain's so high,
       Aadd9/E                                          | E Esus4 | 
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side 
E                             Aadd9/E     E 
 You stand up there with your head in the clouds,
      Aadd9/E                                 E      
Don't try to fly, you know you might not come down

Aadd9/E               | E Esus4 | E Esus4 |
   You might not come down

If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side 
E                             Aadd9/E     E 
 You stand up there with your head in the clouds,
      Aadd9/E                                 E
