Capo 1

Is there [Am]no sign of light as we [Em]stand in the darkness?
[]Watching the sun [][]rise [,,]
Is there [Am]no sign of life as we [Em]gaze at the waters?
[]Into the stran[]gers []eyes [,,]

And [F]who are [G]we to [C]criti[F]cize or 
[]scorn the []things that they []do? [,,]
For [F]we shall [G]seek and [C]we shall [F]find 
[]monia []Ave[]nue

If we [Am]call for the proof and we [Em]question the answers
[]Only the doubt []will []grow [,,]
Are we [Am]blind to the truth or a [Em]sign to believe in?
[]Only the wise []will []know [,,]

And [F]word by [G]word they [C]handed [F]down 
the []light that []shines to[]day [,,]
And [F]those who [G]came at [C]first to [F]scoff, 
[Dm] Remained be[Em]hind to [Am]pray
Yes [F]those who [G]came at [C]first to [F]scoff, 
[Dm] remained be[Em7]hind to [Am]pray

When you [Am]can't hear the rhyme and you [Em]can't see the reason
[]Why should the hope []re[]main? [,,]
For a [Am]man will be tired and his [Em]soul will grow weary
[]Living his life []in []vain [,,]

And [F]who are [G]we to [C]justi[F]fy 
the []right in []all we []do? [,,]
Un[F]til we [G]seek un[C]til we [F]find
[]monia []Ave[]nue

[Dm]Through all the [G]doubt 
[F]somehow they [G]knew

And [F]stone by [G]stone they [C]built it [F]high
[Dm7]Until the [G7]sun broke [Am]through
 []ray of []hope,  []shining []light 
[]monia []Ave[]nue
