[Verse]
AmBlessed are the Cone way ticket Gholders
On a one way street
AmBlessed are the Cmidnight riders
For in the shadow of God they sGleep
AmBlessed are the Chuddled hikers
GStaring out at falling rain
AmWondering at the Cretribution
In their personal Amacquaintance with Empain
AmBlessed are the Cblood relations
GOf the young ones who have died
AmWho had not the Ctime or patience
To carry on this earthly Gride
[Bridge]
EmRain will come and Cwinds will blGow
AmWild deer die in the Cmountain snow
EmBirds will beat at Cheaven's wGall
AmWhat comes to one must Ccome to us Dall
[Verse]
AmFor you and I are Cone way ticket hoGlders
On a one way street
AmWhich lies across a Cgolden valley
Where the waters of joy and hope run Gdeep
AmSo if you pass the Cparents weepingG  
Of the young ones who have died
AmTake them to your Cwarmth and keeping
For Cblessed are the tears they Dcried
AmAnd many were the Cyears they Dtried
CTake them to that Amvalley Dwide
CAnd let their souls be pacifGied

[Verse]

Am C G

Blessed are the one way ticket holders

On a one way street

Am C

Blessed are the midnight riders

For in the shadow of God they sleep

Am C

Blessed are the huddled hikers

Staring out at falling rain

Am C

Wondering at the retribution

Am Em

In their personal acquaintance with pain

Am C

Blessed are the blood relations

Of the young ones who have died

Am C

Who had not the time or patience

To carry on this earthly ride

[Bridge]

Em C G

Rain will come and winds will blow

Am C

Wild deer die in the mountain snow

Em C G

Birds will beat at heaven's wall

Am C D

What comes to one must come to us all

[Verse]

Am C G

For you and I are one way ticket holders

On a one way street

Am C

Which lies across a golden valley

Where the waters of joy and hope run deep

Am C G

So if you pass the parents weeping

Of the young ones who have died

Am C

Take them to your warmth and keeping

C D

For blessed are the tears they cried

Am C D

And many were the years they tried

C Am D

Take them to that valley wide

C G

And let their souls be pacified
