The Maker

D

[Verse]
Bm   A         D
Oh, oh, deep water
Bm                   A        D
It’s black and cold like the night

[Chorus]
    G                   A
I stand with arms wide open
      D             G
I’ve run a twisted line
         G
I’m a stranger
        A           D
In the eyes of the maker

[Verse]
Bm                       A         D
I could not see for the fog in my eyes
Bm                            A          D
And I could not feel for the fear in my life

[Chorus]
           G                 A
And from across the great divide
          D              G
In the distance I saw a light
              G
It was Jean Baptiste
                 A              D
He was walking to me with the maker

[Verse]
Bm          A         D
My body is bent and broken
Bm               A        D
By a long and dangerous sleep

[Chorus]
         G                   A
I can’t work the Fields of Abraham
     D            G
And turn my head away
             G
I’m not a stranger
        A           D
In the eyes of the maker

[Verse]
Bm                      A                    D
Brother John, have you seen the homeless daughters
          Bm                  A      D
They’re standing there with broken wings

[Chorus]
        G                 A
I have seen the flaming swords
  D                 G
There over east of eden
G               A
Burning in the eyes
G               A
Burning in the eyes
              G             A            D
And they’re burning in the eyes of the maker

[Outro]
D
Oh, river rise from your sleep
