Intro - 
C Fm
Verse 1 -
 CAnd so with the explorers on my hFmeels I started t'wheCel
Stepped aside stone wFmalls, i was sick of it aCll
And so I set my sFmail on yr coatC-tails and yr warm sFmhawl
CUp where there's an EDverlasting Arm, 
Fsends us out alone, 
Fmmoves us out of hCarm
EGver-reaching always sweeping... C  Fm  
Verse 2 - 
And though I struggled t'take my place, there stood my mistake
Standing there like some great big theatre curtain he knew for certain 
I'd come down on you softly
Up where...
Verse 3 -
By and by the gates swung wide, Loved ones came in sight
Storming down the street like Puerto-Rican kids in a summer rain
Breaking open the hydrants and going insane
Up where...
