A Handful Of Darkness

G                         D
Take a look at that child
                        Em
Living in a world of war
                         C
It could be yours or mine
                     G
But not for very long
                           D
For now it's judgement's day
                         Em
Tonight it will be killed
                        C
But maybe in your dreams
                    G
It comes around again
                      D
To tell you lovely things
           Em
About a paradise
                       C
Where everything is clean
                 G
And everybody's nice
                     D
And everything's in love
                   Em
And everything is light
                     C
Where mom and papa wait
                    G  D
To kiss you good night
               Em
To kiss you good night


[Chorus]
 Am                C
Oh mighty Jesus, where is the sky?
  G
Where is that great wide open?
  D
Where I used to fly?
 Am
Where went my strength and anger?
  C
Who's that to blame?
             G            D
Are we just lost in life, without an aim?
G                 D
Oh mother Mary, where have we gone?
Em                         C
So far away from you and from the sun
 G                   D
Send you all my love
             Em          C
In a handful of darkness
         G               D Em C
In a handful of darkness

[Verse 2]
                           D
And all the things you've done
                           Em
And all the things we've seen
                          C
And all the books you've read
                      G
Are spinning in our head
                     D
And every time you leave
                    Em
And every time you stay
                     C
You'll always turn around
                        G
And think about the day
                        D
There's not much we can do
                           Em
There's not much we could say
                      C                      G
It's all about the things we do from day to day
                           D
And all the things we've done
                          Em
And all the things we've seen
                          C
And all the books we've read

Stay somewhere in our heads


[Chorus]
Am                  C
Oh mighty Jesus, where is the sky?
 G
Where is that great wide open?
  D
Where I used to fly?
 Am
Where went my strength and anger?
 C
Who takes the blame?
              G              D
Are we just lost in life, without an aim?
 G                 D
Oh mother Mary, where have I gone?
Em                      C
So far away from home; from the sun
  G                     D
I send you all my hopes
                   Em     C
And a handful of darkness

In a handful of darkness

I sent you all my love
C     G
In a handful of darkness
