C           G 
What to put before 
F                 C 
The glove and the rain 
Am         G     F 
In the wide open plain 
 
C                 G 
What we choose to take 
F         C 
What will remain 
Am         G     F 
On the wide open plain 
 
C            G               
In a wave of wind 
F        C 
Flood of rain  
Am           G         F 
We are washed grain by grain 
 
C                 G 
From the skies on high 
F           C                   
Nothing has changed 
Am        G           F 
Stars are peering out again 
 
G               G/Em  
 
F                            Am 
You will not hide inside the shadow 
F-G                 F         F-G 
When the day begins again 
F                               Am 
You won’t be watching from your window 
Em-F             G 
In the wide open plain 
 
F          C         F          C 
 
C               G                  
Oh they come to me 
F      C                   
One by one 
Am            G    F 
In the little time remains 
 
C                 G               
I felt the sting of 
F               C                   
Deeds I done by which  
Am  G       F 
I’d hope to gain 
 
C            G               
The melodies of 
F         C                   
The songs unsung 
Am          G          F 
I drawn out slow with pain 
 
C         G               
And swell beyond 
F          C                   
The rising lines  
Am          G    F 
On the wide open plain 
 
F                          Am 
You will not see me up and running 
F-G                       F         F-G 
For there are no hides to gain 
F                         Am 
And we will surely see it coming 
Em-F                  G 
In the wide open plain 
 
(Guitar Part One) 
 
C             G               
We stand once more 
F         C                   
On golden shores 
Am                G     F 
They’re still and stony dream 
 
C          G               
The sea of glass 
F             C                   
The sea that roars  
Am            G          F 
Where are our spoils are drained 
 
C            G               
Will now and ever 
F      C                   
Deeply lie 
Am        G      F 
Anchoring in our chains 
 
C                 G               
And divide us endless 
F                  C                   
Deathless from 
Am              G          F 
The wide open plain 
 
F                              Am 
I wake up trembling in the morning 
F-G            F        F-G 
To a cold and soundless rain 
F                                Am 
I know beneath these streets are born in 
Em-F               G 
Is a wide open plain
