(Verse 1)

       A                                         D
Father God, You have shed Your tears for Mother India,
                      A            D                A
They have fallen to water ancient seeds, that will grow, 
                                D
Into hands that touch the un-touchables,
          F#m                 E        D
How blessed are the poor the sick the weak,

(Chorus)

D                      (E)           F#m
Father, forgive me, for I have not believed,
              E                        A
Like Mother India, I have groaned and grieved,
           D         (E)         F#m 
Father, forgive me, I forgot Your grace,
                      E          D                   A
Your Spirit falls on India, so capture me in Your embrace,

(Verse 2)

        A                                       D
The serpent spoke, and the world believed its venom,
          F#m                  E             D
Now we're ten to a room, or compared to magazines,

--(Chorus...)--

(Verse 3) -step up to the key of B (or Capo 2)

           B                                 E5
There's a land, where our shackles turn to diamonds,
          B                              E5
Where we trade in our rags, for a royal crown,
         B                             E5
In that place, our oppressors hold no power,
        G#m          (B)             E5
And the doors of the King are thrown wide,

(Chorus in 'B')

E5                    (F#)           G#m
Father, forgive me, for I have not believed,
             F#                        B
Like Mother India, I have groaned and grieved,
           E5            (F#)         G#m
Father, forgive me, for I forgot Your grace,
                      F#                (E5)         B
Your Spirit falls on India, so capture me in Your embrace,
