Nathan Rogers - Land of the Living Skies

      
 
 D                       G   
 In the burning light of dawn
 Em                       D     
 In the stillness of the morning
 G                    G         D    
 He held her close he kissed her eyes
 C                   G       D   
 Under a blanket of living skies.
 
 D                            G     
 They were lovers all through school
 Em                 D     
 They always were together
 G                  G      D  
 And on her hand a golden ring
 C             G    D     
 Within which sat forever.
 
 D                          G    
 But a young man's heart is brave
 D                      G  
 The same brave boy she wed
 Em               D      
 Has gone away in uniform
 G                     C   
 Sleeps in a soldier?s bed.
 
 D                    G   
 In the colors of the East
 Em                       C     
 In the blazing light of morning
 G                          G      D    
 She dreamed of lands in a sweet sunrise
 C                   G      D   
 Here in a land of living skies.
 
 D                             G  
 So when the reverend came to call
 Em                    D   
 She did not need to answer
 G                       G    D   
 She knew he'd met with his demise
 C                         G      D   
 Gone to the land of the living skies.
 
 D                     G    
 She put on her good clothes
 D                     G  
 She stood out on the rise
 Em                    D  
 She called his name aloud
 G                     C    
 And these were his replies.
 
 D                       G  
 There is no more anger here
 Em                      D      
 Nor is there cause for mourning
 G                              G    D  
 In the untamed wheat and the feral rise
 C                         G      D   
 Here in the land of the living skies.
 
 D                      G  
 Grieve not for we who live
 Em                     D    
 In the amber dawn of morning
 G                              G    D  
 In the untamed wheat and the feral rise
 C                         G      D  
 Here in the land of the living skies
 C                         G      D  
 Here in the land of the living skies
 C                         D      G  
 Here in the land of the living skies
