Lasting Hymn - The Bridge
Standard tuning - Capo 2nd - Strum like the recording
[G] [C] [G] [G]
Verse 1
[G]same old [C]story came and [G]went[G]
[G]gone like the words it [C]wasted, and told as the[G] time it spent[G]
like the [C]ones passing by all [C]forgotten for why or [Em]what they meant[Em]
just a [D]blank page that still [C]remains, and a lastin[G]g hymn
[C] [G] [G]
Verse 2
[G]gone, she's [C]gone, her wind has [G]blown[G]
[G]further away from the [C]winters that made her feel [G]so alone[G]
and a[C]ll she remembers of [C]distant Decembers chi[Em]lled to the bone[Em]
can just [D]fade like the old false [C]loves
for she hears a [C]tune calling like a [C]holy [Em]morning [Am]song
Chorus
say my [G]pea[C]ce, say my [G]glo[C]ry, say my [G]lov[C]e say my [D]son[C]g
say my [G]pea[C]ce, say my [G]glo[C]ry, say my [G]lov[C]e said my [D]so o [C]nnng
[G] [C] [G] [G]
Verse 3
[G]where oh [C]where did your songbird [G]fly
[G]effortlessly on the [C]seven great seas and the [G]wailing sky
is she [C]sleeping or alone and weeping and w[Em]ondering why
through the [D]silence a song can be [C]born [C]and [Em]surv[Am]ive [D]
Verse 4
but somehwere she hears that sweet reprise
calling like a long lost love with sleep upon his weary eyes
and complete disregard for the longwinded hardships and gone goodbyes
for the love that remains is clear as that lasting hymn
singin like a holy morning song
Chorus
Bridge
[Em] [D]just like the morning [G]bells tolling
and the [Em]dream[D]s that were restlesssly[Em] stolen
and the [Bm]light still [C]shining
on the [Em]souls that were broken [D]before
and a voice is [C]calling
[D]calling the[G]m home,[C] calling them [G]home
Verse 5
after all the tides have tamed
silences broken and the stories half spoken but yet unnamed
i'll be painfully sure of the ones that endure and are unashamed
as the breath of a lasting hymn so soft and true and mercifully
calling back again
Chorus Jam (finger pickin' good)
