It's Alright (for Lazarus)
Peter Furler
Verse 1:
E
It's alright
A E
The echo of the veil torn
A E
Is louder than your sisters' mourn
A B
And the spirit's wind...
A E
It blows across the last divide
A E
A ferry back to our side
A E
The bitter and the sweet collide
A B
And now everything's changed
Chorus:
A E
So it's alright
B
You can open your eyes now
A
And through the shroud
E
Hear my voice
B
Over the crowd
A
This is not for you
E
But if you knew
B
All it will signify
A
You'd know why
E
I cry
B
I cry
Verse 2:
E
Breathe in
A E
Hear your heart beat again
A E
Feel the rags fall away
A B
Touch your skin
E
I know you didn't ask for this
A E
It doesn't even feel like home
A E
But now that you're completely known
A B
Lift up your head
A E
It's alright
B
You can open your eyes now
A
And through the shroud
E
Hear my voice
B
Over the crowd
A
This is not for you
E
But if you knew
B
All it will signify
A
You'd know why
E
I cry
B
I cry
Bridge:
A
And when it's time to leave again
E
You'll be more than ready to
A
'Cause this time when you leave, my friend
B
I'll be there to welcome you
A E
So it's alright
B
You can open your eyes now
A
And through the shroud
E
Hear my voice
B
Over the crowd
A
This is not for you
E
But if you knew
B
All it will signify
A
You'd know why
E
I cry
B
I cry
