More that shines in the night than just the moon 
There's Bmmore than just this Esus4fire hEere that Akeeps E/G#me wF#marm 
In a Bsusshelter that is Blarger than this Esus4room E  
There's a Aloyalty that's dEeeper than mere Asentiment 
            E              F#mC#sus           C#  D  
And a music higher than the songs that I can sing

Verse 2: 
There's Amore that dances Eon the prairies Athan the wind 
         E             F#mC#sus        C#  D  
More than pulses in the ocean than the tide 
BmThere's a love that fiEsus4ercer tEhan the loAve between friF#mends 
More Bsusgently than a Bmother's when her Esus4baby's at her sEide 
And there's a Aloyalty that's Edeeper than mere seAntiment
