Intro : G C

           G
I hear the sweet,

                    C
Sweet sounds   of heaven

        G
Falling down,

                       C
Falling down to this earth

           G
I hear the sweet,

                       C
Sweetest sounds   of heaven

         G
Drifting down,

                          C
Drifting down   to this earth

          G                    F
Bless the Father, bless the Son,

         C
Hear the sound   of the drums

      G                        F
As it echoes through the valley

       C
And it bursts,

       G             F           C
Let no woman   or child go hungry   tonight

          Am                   F
Please protect us from the pain

        C
And the hurt

            G

Sweet scents of heaven

To the earth   (from the earth)

The land   of their birth   (no)

         G                 F
No, I'm not, not going to hell

In some dusty   motel

         G                 F
And I'm not, not going down

        C
In the dirt (yes, yes, yes)

I'm gonna laugh   (I'm gonna laugh)

Of your heavenly love   oh  yeah, c'mon
