[Intro]
Bm A G A
[Verse 1]
Watching them cBmome and go
The templars and the SAaracens
They're traveling the hGoly land
Opening teAlegrams
Torture comes and toBmrture goes
Knights who'd give you aAnything
They bear the cross of cGoeur de lion
Salvation for the mAirror blindF#  
But if you pGray all your sFins are hooked uCmpon the Cm7sky
C   G   Cm[Riff 2]
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear
[Chorus]
GPrayers they hide the saddest A7add4view
Bb6Believing the strangest things, loving the alA7add4ien
And your pGrayers they break the sky in A7add4two
Believing the stBb6rangest things, loving the alA7add4ien
[Verse 2]
Thinking of a diBmfferent time
Palestine a moAdern problem
Bounty and your weGalth in land
Terror in a bAest laid plan
BmWatching them come and go
Tomorrows and Athe yesterdays
Christians and Gthe unbelievers
Hanging by the cAross and nailF#  
But Gif you pray aFll your sins are Cmhooked Cm7upon the sky
C   G   Cm[Riff 2]
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear
GPrayers they hide the saddest A7add4view
Believing the Bb6strangest things, loving the A7add4alien
And your pGrayers they break the sky in A7add4two
Believing the stBb6rangest things, loving the alA7add4ien
GYou'll pray till the break of A7add4Dawn
Believing the stBb6rangest things, loving the A7add4alien
And you'll beGlieve you're loving the A7add4alien
Believing the sBb6trangest things, loving the A7add4alien
Believeing the sBb6trangest things loving the A7add4alien
The way Gerry Leonard plays the A7 and Bb's is to move the G chord shape up
E   A   D   G   Be
A7add4 = 5 4 0 0 5 5
Bb6 = 6 5 0 0 6 6
Those chords are named relative to the capo being on the 1st fret.
Remember there are many many ways to play these chords, but I've studied
the DVD and am almost sure this is correct.
