Judy Collins - Kingdom Come
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
Am Em Am G
[Verse 1]
Am
It was seven months since 9/11
Em Am
And the work was almost done
It was seven months since 9/11
G
And the work had just begun
F
Ground Zero lit the evening sky
Em
Like a dagger through the heart
F
The searchlights drove through heaven's gates
G
And blew them far apart
[Verse 2]
Am
A few miles north on the Hudson River
Em Am
We had gathered for a sort of wake
Nobody felt like celebrating
G
But the Firemen needed a break
F
They'd been to so many funerals
Em
And seen so many terrible sights
F
Been to Ground Zero from dawn to dusk
G C
And round the clock some nights
[Chorus]
F
From Kingdom come
C
To hell and gone
F Am
To somewhere far away
G F Em
Where murder does not break the heart
D Am Em Am G
On a sunny day
[Verse 3]
Am
I was all dressed up like the rest of the gang
Em Am
At the Roxy Club that night
The men and women in uniform
G F
Tried hard to keep it light
Kevin Bacon played and sang
Em F
And folks began to smile
G
Chris Botti played his silver horn
With rhythm and with style
[Verse 4]
Am
I sang the song 'Amazing Grace'
Em Am
And people hugged and cried
Ronan Tynan sang 'Danny Boy'
G f
And not an eye was dry
Steve Buscemi spoke of life
Em
At Engine 55
F
Of how those firemen stayed the course
G C
And saved so many lives
[Chorus]
F
From Kingdom come
C
To hell and gone
F Am
To somewhere far away
G F Em
Where murder does not break the heart
D
On a sunny day
[Interlude]
Am Em Am G Am Em Am G
[Verse 5]
Am
A burly man with a handsome face
Em Am
Stuck out his hand and smiled
G
"Say, meet my wife, we like your songs
F
We've been with you mile for mile"
Though he had a rugged face
Em
I thought I saw the hurt
F
Then he pointed to a spot
G
Above the collar of his shirt
[Verse 6]
Am
"Ah, just look there on the back of my neck
Em
There's a tattoo, can you see?
Am
Just right there", I got up close
G F
And saw the number 343
The number of those heroes
Em F
Who were lost on that black day
The number of those firemen
G C
Ground Zero was their grave
[Chorus]
F
From Kingdom come
C
To hell and gone
F Am
To somewhere far away
G F Em
Where murder does not break the heart
D Am Em Am G
On a sunny day
[Verse 7]
Am
Those firemen loaded up with gear
Em Am
Climbed to their deaths that day
Along with all the other hundreds
G
Blasted on their way
F
Police and EMS and those
Em
On whom death took its toll
F
And more whose dreams will never dawn
G Am
More than three thousand souls
[Verse 8]
Em
I left the party after that
Am
I couldn't stay my tears
For all our gifts for all our hopes
G F
For all our nameless fears
For all our heroes, men and women
Em
Lost on that black day
F
The firemen with their courage
G F
In their hearts so strong and brave
G
Who made sure in their final hour
C
There were twenty thousand saved
[Bridge]
F
They've gone to where
C
There are no tears
F Am
And every heart is gay
G F Em
They will not be forgotten
D C
On a sunny day
[Chorus]
F
From Kingdom come
C
To hell and gone
F Am
To somewhere far away
G F Em
Where murder does not break the heart
D Am
On a sunny day
G F Em D
Where we can live in peace all again
On a sunny day_____
