Verse
I [Am]lift [C]my [Am]eyes ... To the wes[C]tern [Am]shore
[Am]Where the Sun goes [C]down ... To the sea once [Am]more
[Am]Ten thou[C]sand [Am]times ... I watched [C]it [Am]fall
To the roaring [C]sea ... And the western [Am]shore
The [Am]sky [C]a[Dm]bove ... [E]And the [Dm]Earth [C]be[Am]low
This [Am]sac[C]red [Dm]spring ... [E]Where the [Dm]wa[C]ters [Em]flow
[Em]Sustains [C]my [Dm]soul ... [Dm]Sustains [C]my [Em]mind
[Em]As I mark the [G]Sun ... And the Wheel of [Am]Time
[Am]The sky [C]grew [Am]dark (The sky grew dark)
[Am]The earth [C]turned [Em]cold (the earth turned cold)
[Em]No lambs [C]were [Dm]born ... No [C]crops would [Em]grow
[Em]The Sacred [G]Way (the sacred way)
And songs of [Am]old (and songs of old)
Sustained our [Em]tribe ... Through bitter [Am]cold
With our own [Am]hands we raised the stones
And we lit the [Em]flame as the full moon shone
We mark the [Dm]path of the rolling Sun
And the Wheel of [Am]Stars where the tale is spun
The winter [Am]sun on solstice day
Fell to the [Em]sea just a field away
We set our [Dm]stones to mark the line
To fix the [Am]sun and the wheel of [Dm]time
The sun re[Am]turned (The earth grew bright)
The land grew [Em]strong (In the path of light)
And though our [Dm]lives (Shall fade away)
These stones we [Am]raised
Shall [Em]here forever [Dm]stay
