Lion Of Rock

  Gadd4
I climbed up a lion of rock
Gadd4
There overlooking the swirls of the world
           Am9
All the shifting of sands that I saw
 Am9
Conflicting energies giving and taking
     Bm11
The fluid grace of it all
 Bm11
Billowing shadows of clouds in the sand
           Cmaj7
While the waves lay down all stretched and taught
 Cmaj7                                         Em7   G
Folding and wrinkling back to the source of it all
Em7  G  Cmaj7
Ah_________


Chorus 2:
                          Am7
Every breath is give and take
            Cmaj7             Em9
Every breath is give and take
                              Am7
Every breath is give and take
            Cmaj7                    Em7     G
Every breath is give and take, give and take


Verse 2:
   Gadd4
I love you, oh, gentlest of ways
     Gadd4
Who ripens us as we wrestle with you
           Am9
The great homesickness we cannot shake
 Am9
You the great forest surrounding us now
   Bm11
In silence it’s you that we sing
 Bm11
Billowing shadows of Heaven on earth
          Cmaj7
As we lay down our lives stretched and taught
  Cmaj7                                         Em7   G
Folding and wrinkling back to the source of it all
Em7  G  Cmaj7
Ah_________


Chorus 2:
                  Em7
Every breath is give and take
            Cmaj7              Em9  G
Every breath is give and take
                       D       Em7  G  Em7  Cmaj7
Every breath is give and take
            D5               Em7
Every breath is give and take
   Em7
Every breath is give and take, give and take
E5        A5      G5   D5
   Give and take


Verse 3:
  G5
I see it all like a hymn
     G5
The constant refrain of the echo and change and
 G5
All is beautiful
E5  A5  G5      D5       E5   A5
        All is beautiful


Bridge:
G5
Everything, everyone building and breaking
    D5
And I see the grace of it all
E5
There is no giving without any taking
        A5
There’s no love without any loss
G5     D5         G
All is beautiful


Ending:
Gadd4
Suddenly everything came into focus
   Am9
As I saw her taking a walk
Am9
The tiniest speck, just a grain in the wind
     Bm11
But oh, how much great in the small
    Bm11
The tiniest body containing the glory
    Cmaj7
Of Heaven and angels and God
   Cmaj7                                             Em7   G
I climbed down the rock and I ran to the sand and my love
     Em7   G   Cmaj7
My love
