[Chorus]
Em
As heavy as a history book can be,
G C G Bm
I will carry it with me, oh Lord.
Em
And maybe when the bitterness has gone,
G C G Bm
There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more.
[VERSE 3] Play the verse tab once.
[Chorus]
Em
As heavy as a history book can be,
G C G Bm
I will carry it with me, oh Lord.
Em
And maybe when the bitterness has gone,
G C G Bm
There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more.
[Bridge]
F C G
We'll soon forget our parents' names,
F C G
Like dogs will drive the wolves away.
F C
And weep with fingertips opposed,
G F G F
Like a church where nobody congregates.
[OUTRO VERSE]
Am C G F
But sweetness sings in the pasture,
Am C G F
We throw ourselves on the mercy of the earth.
Am C G F
If sand and salt have the answer,
Am C G F
Then the act itself will be louder than the word.
Am C G F
And I'll be on your side, and I'll be on your side.
Am C G F
Am C G F
And I'll be on your side, and I'll be on your side.
Am C G F
Am C G F goes on for the rest of the song
Joe
