Brisbane Hotel Sutra

D                           A
  On the crooked road that took me north
G                      D
  And brought me home again
D                           A
  From the pit of writhing serpents
G                    D
  Out to the lion's den
D                             A
  Where the labyrinth is lightless
Bm                         F#m
  And the faithless wander crazed
G                             D
  Let the light rise from the darkness
A                         D
  Let his name be praised


[Verse 2]

D                            A
  From the sunrise of my childhood
G                          D
  To its premature demise
D                          A
  From my mother's best intentions
G                          D
  To my stepdad's seething eyes
D                         A
  From the hidden self-inflicted wounds
Bm                       F#m
  That flowered in later days
G                       D
  To the folly of their learning
A                         D
  Let his name be praised


[Verse 3]

D                             A
  In the holes the worms have eaten
G                            D
  Through all once-treasured things
D                           A
  From the wet mouth of the vulture
G                        D
  To the red tips of his wings
D                          A
  In the dazed eyes of the penitent
Bm                  F#m
  Emerging from the maze
G                      D
  In his wordless explanations
A                         D
  Let his name be praised
