    NO PAIN - NMA
   -------------------------------------------------

  
    Across the town
           
    On the other hill
  
    Your lights glow
           
    From a different world

        
    You always found
      
    A place to hide
                     
    Nails and cross to lay beside
                                     /             [/]?
    With all the ghosts that we denied                 |0|0|3|3|3|0|

           
    Now in rippled arcs
     
    Across the sky
                       
    Great white birds of winter fly
             
    When the wheel turns
    
    People change
                         
    Scattered ashes to the wind
                         
    Scattered ashes to the wind

               
    There's no pain

    There's no pain
               
    There's no pain
                       
    Drying river in the blazing sun

     [repeat]
               
    There's no pain, there's no pain
                    /   
    There's no pain

         
    Your parched face
         
    Your calloused hands
                    
    Behind us lie the arrid lands
       
    To say too much
           
    It was not our way
                              
    And in the end there wasn't much to say
                              
    The scars are healed now anyway

     [Chorus]
                                                
    There's no pain, there's no pain, there's no pain
                     
    No pain, no pain

     [Instrumental part]: (I'm not sure about the rhythm in here. Just try it)
              
              

                        
    And Abraham rose and took his only son
                       
    Knife and tinder in his hand and set out
                          
    Across the desert and up into the scrubland hills.
  
    He bound the boy Isaac to the stone
                                   
    Raised the blade and waited for the miracle

                                        
    But the wind blows silent across the hills
                                   
    Silent, across the dead and empty hills
                                 
    Dead, like the god that never came
              /                        /
    Like your face, the day that you turned away.

     [Chorus]
                                                
    There's no pain, there's no pain, there's no pain
               
    No pain, no pain
               
    No pain, no pain


Somehow the original isn't in A-major but who cares?
So, enjoy it.
