Gloria

Dsus4/A  D/A  Dsus2/A


[Verse 1]
Dsus2/A                 D/A  Dsus4/A  Dsus2/A
Gathered, sorted and dispersed,
Dsus2/A             D/A
Lined up in rows to see. Hushed in our conversation,
Dsus2/A                 D/A               Dsus4/A  D/A
What cause have we to rejoice asks one man.
      Dsus2/A
I say look at your hands your feet and feel your heart,
           D/A               Dsus2/A  D/A
What other reason do we need.


[Chorus]
    D
The pipes shine, like liquid metal,
Dmaj7                                D7
Falling from the invisible, infinite well above,
                                     G
the alter that soaks up all of their offerings,
      Em                      Asus4     A
Their sacrament, meaning much more than words.
D                         Dmaj7
Stops out, the very air exalted,
                         D7
by the ringing golden machine,
                                G
as it sings it’s praises to the world,
                          Em
to the clouds the sun and me.
                   Asus4    A
And to you hear it say Christine,
N.C. Dsus4/A  D/A
Gloria-a-a-a-a-a.
     Dsus4/A  D/A  Dsus2/A  D/A
Gloria-a-a-a-a-a.


[Verse 2]
Dsus2/A                                 D/A
A great throne before us, or rather the center,
              Dsus4/A Dsus2/A
of some great nervous system.
                      D/A  Dsus4/A
An endless field of controls.
Dsus4/A
Tell me where was the one that turned on the color,
                                  D/A
Where is the lever to mystify and hypnotize away,
D/A                 Dsus4/A
All our everlasting fears and where,
                                     D/A   Dsus2/A
was the stop, that filled me up with warmth.


[Chorus]
    D
The pipes shine, like liquid metal,
Dmaj7                                D7
Falling from the invisible, infinite well above,
                                     G
the alter that soaks up all of their offerings,
      Em                      Asus4     A
Their sacrament, meaning much more than words.
D                         Dmaj7
Stops out, the very air exalted,
                         D7
by the ringing golden machine,
                                G
as it sings it’s praises to the world,
                          Em
to the clouds the sun and me.
                   Asus4    A
And to you hear it say Christine,
N.C. Dsus4/A  D/A
Gloria-a-a-a-a-a.
     Dsus2/A  D/A  Dsus4/A
Gloria-a-a-a-a-a.
     Dsus4/A  Dsus2/A  D/A
Gloria-a-a-a-a-a.


[Bridge]
G
Did you have the time, did you have the strength?
                                   Bm
The will or the patience to make a little light in this,
              Bsus2                     Bm
dark world. A light that shines so much brighter,
         G
Than any lamp.
G
No, no I’ll never go back, I gotta,
G
get up, get up, get up, get, get out of this,
Bm                                                  Bsus2
kind of mind that said to never believe, never give in,
    Bm                  G
And never surrender yourself, unto the magic again,
         Em                 Asus4     A      D
unto the magic again, unto, ooh,  the magic again.


[Outro]
    D
The pipes shine, like liquid metal,
Dmaj7                                D7
Falling from the invisible, infinite well above,
                                     G         D/F#
the alter that soaks up all of their offerings,
      Em                      Asus4     A
Their sacrament, meaning much more than words.
D                         Dmaj7
Stops out, the very air exalted,
                         D7
by the ringing golden machine,
                                G
as it sings it’s praises to the world,
                      D/F#   Em
to the clouds the sun and    me.
                   Asus4    A
And to you hear it say Christine,
N.C. Dsus4/A  Dsus2/A
Gloria-a-a-a-a-a.
     Dsus4/A  D/A  Dsus2/A  D/A
Gloria-a-a-a-a-a.
