(A minor) Her skin is white (C major) and I'm (D minoradd9) light as the (C major) sun
So (D minoradd9) holy light shines (C major)
on the (E7/B) things, you have done (A minoradd9)
Bridge 1
(F6) So I asked him (G6) how he
be (E/G#) came this man (A minoradd9)
(F6) How did he learn (G6) to hold (E/G#) fruit in his hands? (A minoradd9)
And (C major) where is the lamb that
(D minoradd9) gave you your name?
(C major) He had to leave, though I
(E7/B) begged him to (A minoradd9) stay
(F6) Left me alone, (G6) when I (E/G#) needed the light (A minoradd9)
(F6) Fell to my knees, (G6) and I (E/G#) wept for my life (A minoradd9)
If (C major) he had've stayed, you (D minoradd9) might understand
If (C major) he had've stayed, you never
(E7/B) would have taken my hand (A minoradd9) hand

(F6) I'm low

(A minor) Do not (G6) tempt me (A minor)
Bridge 2
And (C major) where is the lamb, that
(D minoradd9) gave you your name?
(C major) He had to leave, though I
begged (E7/B) him to (A minoradd9) stay
(F6) Begged him to (G6) stay in my
(E/G#) cold wooden grip (A minoradd9)
(F6) Begged him to (G6) stay by the
light (E/G#) of this (A minoradd9) ship
(C major) Me fighting him, fighting (D minoradd9) life, fighting dawn
And the (C major) waves came and stole him and
(E7/B) took him to war (A minoradd9)

(A minor) He wrote (G6)
(F6) I'm broke (A minor) Please (G6) send for me (A minoradd9)

For (A minor) give me, (C major) Hera, (D minoradd9) I cannot (C major) stay

(A minor) We write (G6)

(F6) When spoken to
(A minor) That (G6) suits us well (A minoradd9)
That (G6) suits us well (A minoradd9)
That (G6) suits me well (A minoradd9)
