Judy Collins - Kingdom Come
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
Am Em Am G
[Verse 1]
It was Amseven months since 9/11
And the Emwork was almost doneAm  
It was seven months since 9/11
And the Gwork had just begun
Ground FZero lit the evening sky
Like a Emdagger through the heart
The Fsearchlights drove through heaven's gates
And Gblew them far apart
[Verse 2]
A Amfew miles north on the Hudson River
We had Emgathered for a sort of wakeAm  
Nobody felt like celebrating
But the GFiremen needed a break
They'd Fbeen to so many funerals
And seen Emso many terrible sights
FBeen to Ground Zero from dawn to dusk
And Ground the clock some nightsC  
[Chorus]
From Kingdom comeF  
To hell and goneC  
To somewhere far aFwayAm  
Where Gmurder does not Fbreak the Emheart
On a Dsunny dayAm  Em  Am  G  
[Verse 3]
I was Amall dressed up like the rest of the gang
At the EmRoxy Club that nightAm  
The men and women in uniform
GTried hard to keep it lightF  
Kevin Bacon played and sang
And Emfolks began to smileF  
Chris Botti played his silver hornG  
With rhythm and with style
[Verse 4]
I Amsang the song 'Amazing Grace'
EmAnd people hugged and criedAm  
Ronan Tynan sang 'Danny Boy'
G f
And not an eye was dry
Steve Buscemi spoke of life
At EmEngine 55
Of Fhow those firemen stayed the course
And Gsaved so many livesC  
[Chorus]
From Kingdom comeF  
To hell and goneC  
To somewhere far aFwayAm  
Where Gmurder does not Fbreak the Emheart
On a Dsunny day
[Interlude]
Am Em Am G Am Em Am G
[Verse 5]
A Amburly man with a handsome face
Stuck Emout his hand and smiledAm  
"Say, meet my wife, we like your songsG  
We've been with you mile for mile"F  
Though he had a rugged face
I Emthought I saw the hurt
FThen he pointed to a spot
Above the Gcollar of his shirt
[Verse 6]
"Ah, Amjust look there on the back of my neck
There's a Emtattoo, can you see?
AmJust right there", I got up close
And saw the Gnumber 343F  
The number of those heroes
Who were Emlost on that black dayF  
The number of those firemen
Ground GZero was their graveC  
[Chorus]
From Kingdom comeF  
To hell and goneC  
To somewhere far aFwayAm  
Where Gmurder does not Fbreak the Emheart
On a Dsunny dayAm  Em  Am  G  
[Verse 7]
Those Amfiremen loaded up with gear
Climbed Emto their deaths that dayAm  
Along with all the other hundreds
GBlasted on their way
FPolice and EMS and those
On Emwhom death took its toll
And Fmore whose dreams will never dawn
GMore than three thousand soulsAm  
[Verse 8]
I left the party after thatEm  
I couldn't stay my tearsAm  
For all our gifts for all our hopes
For Gall our nameless fearsF  
For all our heroes, men and women
EmLost on that black day
The Ffiremen with their courage
In their Ghearts so strong and braveF  
Who made sure in their final hourG  
There were twenty thousand savedC  
[Bridge]
They've gone to whereF  
There are no tearsC  
And every heart is FgayAm  
They will not Gbe forFgottenEm  
On a Dsunny dayC  
[Chorus]
From Kingdom comeF  
To hell and goneC  
To somewhere far aFwayAm  
Where Gmurder does not Fbreak the Emheart
On a Dsunny dayAm  
Where Gwe can live in Fpeace all aEmgainD  
On a sunny day_____
