Dsus4                 Cadd9 
I saw you from a foreign window 
    Dsus4                Cadd9 
Bearing down the sufferin' road 
 Dsus4                   Cadd9 
You were carryin' your burden 
 Dsus4                   Cadd9 
To the palace of the Lord 
 D                G Cadd9 G Cadd9 
To the palace of the Lord 
 
I spied you from a foreign window 
When the lilacs were in bloom 
 
And the sun shone through your window pane 
To the place you kept your books 
You were reading on your sofa 
You were singin' every prayer 
That the masters had instilled in you 
Since Lord Byron loved despair 
In the palace of the Lord 
In the palace of the Lord 
 
Bridge: 
 Cadd9                    D 
And if you get it right this time 
                          G  Cadd9 G Cadd9 
You don't have to come back again 
     Cadd9                D 
And if you get it right this time 
     Cadd9 
There's no need to explain
