[Intro]

F G C F Dm Em Am

[Verse 1]

Am Em

Is there no sign of light as we stand in the darkness?

Am G Am E7 Am E7

Watching the sun arise

Am Em

Is there no sign of life as we gaze at the waters?

Am G Am E7 Am E7

Into the strangers eyes

[Chorus]

F G C F

And who are we to criticize,

Dm7 G7 Am A9 Am7 A9

Or scorn the things that they do?

F G C F

For we shall seek and we shall find

Dm Em Am

Ammonia Avenue

[Verse 2]

Am Em

If we call for the proof and we question the answers

Am G Am E7 Am E7

Only the doubt will grow

Am Em

Are we blind to the truth or a sign to believe in?

Am G Am E7 Am E7

Only the wise will know

[Verse 3]

F G C F

And word by word they handed down,

Dm7 G7 Am E7 Am E7

the light that shines today

F G C F

And those who came at first to scoff,

Dm Em Am

Remained behind to pray

F G C F

Yes those who came at first to scoff,

Dm Em7 Am

remained behind to pray

[Solo]

[Verse 4]

Am Em

When you can't hear the rhyme and you can't see the reason

Am G Am E7 Am E7

Why should the hope remain?

Am Em

For a man will be tired and his soul will grow weary

Am G Am E7 Am E7

Living his life in vain

[Chorus]

F G C F

And who are we to justify,

Dm7 G7 Am E7 Am E7

The right in all we do?

F G C F

Until we seek, until we find

Dm Em Am

Ammonia Avenue

[Bridge]

Dm G

Through all the doubt,

F G

Somehow they knew

[Chorus]

F G C F

And stone by stone, they built it high

Dm7 G7 Am E7 Am E7

Until the sun broke through

F G C F

A ray of hope. A shining light

Dm Em Am
