This is a Nick Cave cover that MMJ put on their Christmas album. It is a beautiful
song that was supposedly inspired by Amazing Grace.
(intro: CG)
One morn I awakened
CG
And your sun was shining
The sky was a kingdom
All covered with blood
And the moon and the stars
CG
Were the troops that lay conquered
Like fruit left to wither
CG
All spiritual food
And the spears of the bright sun
CG
All brave with its conquest
Did hover unearhtly
With banners of fire
And I knelt in the garden
CG
and washed with the dawn
The voice came so brightly
I covered my eyes
Thank you for giving
CG
This bright new morning
So steeped seemed the evening
In darkness and blood
G (stop!)- -
Let there be no sadness
- - - - -
No sorrow
- - - - - C G
Let there be no road to narrow
There'll be a new day
Yes its today
its forever
(Note: repeat that last verse twice.)
