Every Grain Of Sand chords acoustic
Bob Dylan 1981
Capo I
D G 4x
D G D G
In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
D G A
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
D G D G
There's a dying voice within me reaching out somewhere
D G A
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair.
A D A
Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake
D A
Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break
D G D G
In the fury of the moment I can see the master's hand
D G A G D
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
D G D G
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear
D G A
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer
D G D G
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
D G A
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.
A D A
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
D A
And every time I pass that way I always hear my name
D G D G
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
D G A G D
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.
break
D G D G
I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
D G A
In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light
D G D G
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space
D G A
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.
A D A
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
D A
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me
D G D G
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
D G A G D
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.
Break
