Tom Russell - Guadalupe
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
D  C    G
[Verse 1]
There are ghosts out in the rain tonight
High up in those ancient Amtrees
And I have given up withDout a fight
Another blind fool on Ghis knees
And all the gods that I've abandoned
Begin to speak in simple Amtongue
And, suddenly, I've Dcome to know
That there are no roads left to Grun
[Verse 2]
Now it's the hour of dogs a-barking
That's what the old ones used to Amsay
It's first light, or it's Dsundown
Before the children cease their Gplay
And when the mountains glow like mission wine
Or turn grey like a Spanish Amroan
Ten thousand eyes will Dstop to worship
Then turn away, and head for Ghome
[Chorus]
And she is reaching out her Carms tonight
And, yes, my poverty is Greal
I pray roses shall rain Amdown againD  
From Guadalupe, on her Ghill
And, who am I to doubt these mysCteries
Cured in centuries of Gblood, and candle smoke?
I am the least of all your pilAmgrims hereD  
But I am most in need of Ghope
[Instrumental]
G    Am    D      G
[Verse 3]
She appeared to Juan DiGego
She left her image on his Amcape
Five hundred years of Dsorrow
Cannot destroy their deepest Gfaith
So, here I am, your ragged disbeliever
A doubting Thomas drowns in Amtears
As I watch your church sink Dthrough the earth
Like a heart worn down through fGear
[Chorus]
And she is reaching out her Carms tonight
And, yes, my poverty is Greal
I pray roses shall rain Amdown againD  
From Guadalupe, on her Ghill
And, who am I to doubt these mysCteries
Cured in centuries of Gblood, and candle smoke?
I am the least of all your pilAmgrims hereD  
But I am most in need of Ghope
I am the least of all your pilAmgrims hereD  
But I am most in need of Ghope
[Outro]

Tom Russell - Guadalupe

CAPO: 4th Fret

[Intro]

D C G

[Verse 1]

There are ghosts out in the rain tonight

High up in those ancient trees

And I have given up without a fight

Another blind fool on his knees

And all the gods that I've abandoned

Begin to speak in simple tongue

And, suddenly, I've come to know

That there are no roads left to run

[Verse 2]

Now it's the hour of dogs a-barking

That's what the old ones used to say

It's first light, or it's sundown

Before the children cease their play

And when the mountains glow like mission wine

Or turn grey like a Spanish roan

Ten thousand eyes will stop to worship

Then turn away, and head for home

[Chorus]

And she is reaching out her arms tonight

And, yes, my poverty is real

Am D

I pray roses shall rain down again

From Guadalupe, on her hill

And, who am I to doubt these mysteries

Cured in centuries of blood, and candle smoke?

Am D

I am the least of all your pilgrims here

But I am most in need of hope

[Instrumental]

G Am D G

[Verse 3]

She appeared to Juan Diego

She left her image on his cape

Five hundred years of sorrow

Cannot destroy their deepest faith

So, here I am, your ragged disbeliever

A doubting Thomas drowns in tears

As I watch your church sink through the earth

Like a heart worn down through fear

[Chorus]

And she is reaching out her arms tonight

And, yes, my poverty is real

Am D

I pray roses shall rain down again

From Guadalupe, on her hill

And, who am I to doubt these mysteries

Cured in centuries of blood, and candle smoke?

Am D

I am the least of all your pilgrims here

But I am most in need of hope

Am D

I am the least of all your pilgrims here

But I am most in need of hope

[Outro]
