Original song and chords
Em Am G Am G D
Just a single swallow and spring is all costly too
Em Am G Am G D Em
to get the sun back here it needs much work ado
G Am Em G Em D
Needed are thousands dead ones working at the wheels
G Am Em Bm Am
needed are yet the living shedding their blood with zeal
C D G Em Am G D Em
needed are yet the living shedding their blood with zeal
D Em Am Em Bm Am G Am
Oh my Master Builder God, in amongst mountains You built me
D Em Am Em Am G D Em
oh my Master Builder God, round with all seas You girded me!
Em Am G Am G D
Taken away by sages the body of May now slain
Em Am G Am G D Em
and in a sepulchre out in open seas it’s lain
G Am G Em G D
in an abysmal well it’s kept enclosed all through
G Am Em Bm Am
all of the darkness scented, all of the abyss too
C D G Em Am G D Em
all of the darkness scented, all of the abyss too
D Em Am Em Bm Am G Am
Oh my Master Builder God, in amongst lilacs there You are
D Em Am Em Am G D Em
Oh my Master Builder God, Your resurrection smells afar!
