Sufjan Stevens - The Greatest Gift

      [Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G
Praise the mountain and the rain
D        G                C     Am
All the gifts that still remain
G
But the greatest gift of all
D        G             C    Am
And the law above all laws

[Chorus 1]
       G          Am           C
Is to love your friends and lovers
         G        Am           C
To lay down your life for your brothers
 G       C
As you abide in peace
G                 C
So will your delight increase

[Verse 2]
G
As the mystery of the cross
                     C      Am
Asa Lovejoy lost the toss
G
And the fountain in the rain
D         G              C     Am
Where my sorrow still remains

[Chorus 2]
      G          F          C
So I run to my friends and lovers
        G      F           C
I lay down my life for my brothers
       G   F  С
As I abide in peace
Em          G        F   C
So will my delight increase
