The Prayer Chain - Whirlpool

      
 
 Hi:
 ...just a quick note that might be a help.
 I'm afraid that I have found some pseudo chords
 that sound pretty good to my ear but have no idea
 what a proper name for them might be...feel free
 to E-MAIL me to let me know what I should be calling
 them.
 D(+A) = 000235
 D* = 000030
 anyway...give a try and please correct some areas
 that I might be wrong in.

 D A D D* D
 I saw you hanging on the wall
 D A D D* D
 Rusted and gathering dust
             D(+A)          A  D   
 a symbol of love and understanding
 A D D* D
 A lone figure, just like on the cross
 
 CHORUS:
 A                       
 Do you have to die again
     G               
 for me to understand
 D        A       G 
 What you mean to me
 D          A       G  
 And what I mean to you
 
 D A D D* D
 My feet burn on hallowed ground
 D A D D* D
 even though I'm thinking of you
     D           D(+A)          A  D 
 The WhirlPools swirl around my feet
 A D D* D D*
 A holy man's tears comfort me
 
 A                                
 And some men say that God is dead
          G                   
 some men say that God is dead
 A                           
 And sometimes I believe them
                 G            
 And sometimes I laugh at them
             A                    
 Because the rosary beads are worn
     G                            
 and no one is praying at his feet
 
 CHORUS...
 
 The peace dove flies above my head
 
 a merciful man died for me
          D      D(+A) A   D  
 but the stained glass windows
 D                 A          D  
 and the holy water condemming me
 
 A                              
 I guess I just don't understand
      G                   
 just a confused young man
 A                       
 that no picture, no book
     G            
 no statue, no man
     D            A    
 can help me understand
         G                     
 what it means to be born again
 
 CHORUS...repeat...

 Note on alternate tuning added by:
 Mark Schwarz (Scoff Pup@aol.com)
 
 It took me a good deal of time and some experience
 in alternate tunings, but I have difinitively
 discovered that the song is performed using the
 tuning of DADGAD as opposed to the standard of EADGBE.
 The droning sound is brought via strumming the D,A,D,A
 and D strings open, while the melody is played between
 the sixth and eleventh fret. The chorus is played
 using an adapted bar chord which is moved from the
 fifth and seventh fret.
