  23       A                       D
  24 I was in your presence for an hour or so
  25    E               A
  26 Or was it a day? I truly don't know.
  27           A                        D
  28 Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low
  29         E                A
  30 By that soft and shining sea.
  31 A                      D
  32 Did you respect me for what I did
  33 E                       A
  34 Or for what I didn't do, or for keeping it hid?
  35 A                  D
  36  Did I lose my mind when I tried to get rid
  37 E                  A
  38  Of everything you see?

  49 I got the heart and you got the blood,
  50 We cut through iron and we cut through mud.
  51 Then came the warnin' that was before the flood
  52 That set everybody free.
  53 Fools they made a mock of sin,
  54 Our loyalty they tried to win
  55 But you were closer to me than my next of kin
  56 When they didn't want to know or see.

  65 Strangers, they meddled in our affairs,
  66 Poverty and shame was theirs.
  67 But all that sufferin' was not to be compared
  68 With the glory that is to be.
  69 And I'm still carrying the gift you gave,
  70 It's a part of me now, it's been cherished and saved,
  71 It'll be with me unto the grave
  72 And then unto eternity.
