Adam And The Beasts chords by
Alasdair Clayre
Alasdair Clayre

N/A
Verse 1
Am

When Adam stood

beyond the gates of Eden,

With Eve huddled weeping by his side,
E

He looked down and
Am

saw the new creation,

The streams and woods

and valleys deep and wide,
E
D
Dm

The flying fish and killer sharks

that wandered in the seas,
Am
F

The lion cubs and antelope

that walked beneath the trees,
Am

And he asked God,
E

where among the beasts do I be long?
Em
E
Am

No answer came,

only sweet bird song.

He startled the roe deer

drinking by the river.

They turned and ran,
E

and Adam watched them go.
Am

The ruffled water settled to a mirror,

And Adam leaned
E

and found his face be low.
Em
D
Dm

He saw the gentle lips

that were parted in surprise
F

And the undefended beauty

of the wide open eyes
Am

And he asked God,
E
Em

will I then be gentle like the deer?
Am

No answer came,

but the bird sang clear
F
Am

He followed down the

river to the seashore

And watched the fish in

colour strong and bright
E
Am

And he longed to move
E

as they moved in the water
Am

And be clothed like them
Em
E

in rainbow -coloured light
Am
Dm

But as he watched he saw
D
Dm

that they were making cruel war
F

Battling for food and fighting

to divide the ocean floor
Am

And he asked God the Lord,
E
Em

will I fight like one of these?
E

Only the birds sang
D
Am
Em

in the silence of the trees
Am


And as they sang,

they drove away their rivals,
E
Em

Till each claimed a country of his own.
E
Am

And Adam saw the lions fight the lions,
E

Till each ruled a hunting ground alone.
Em
D
Dm
D

And Adam said to God,

I'll rule the land around,
Dm
F

This valley full of stones

is gonna be my hunting ground.
Am

This flint axe for my lion,
E

for this slinging rock for song
Am

And is it with the hunting beasts
E
Am

that I belong?

Only the rock whispered
E
Am

lions fight each other

They win their ground
E

and then they live at peace

But one beast shall hunt to kill his brother
Am
E

A man whose wars will never cease
Am
Dm

For God made the beasts,
Am

for the rock will passion man
F

God leaves you gentle

till the axe is in your hand
Am

Now go to your wife

where she's labouring in pain
E
Am
E
Am

An d the child that she delivers,

call him Cain

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
