INTRO: Gsus G Gsus G
Verse 1:
G D G G
There's more that rises in the morning than the sun
D/F# Em Em D C
More that shines in the night than just the moon
Am Dsus D G D/F# Em
There's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm
Asus A Dsus D
In a shelter that is larger than this room
G D G G
There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment
D/F# Em Em D C
A music higher than the songs that I can sing
Am Dsus D G D/F# Em
The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance
Asus A Dsus D
I owe only to the giver of all good things
Chorus:
G C Em Asus A Dsus D Dsus D
So if I stand let me stand on the promise that you will pull me through
Am C Em Dsus D G C Em D
And if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to you
G C Em Asus A Dsus D Dsus D
If I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs
Am C Em Dsus D G C Em D
But if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home
Verse 2:
G C G G
There's more that dances on the prairies than the wind
D/F# Em Em D C
More that pulses in the ocean than the tide
Am Dsus D G D/F# Em
There's a love that is fiercer than the love between friends
Asus A Dsus D
More gently than a mother's when her baby's at her side
G D G G
There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment
D/F# Em Em D C
A music higher than the songs that I can sing
Am Dsus D G D/F# Em
The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance
Asus A Dsus D
I owe only to the giver of all good things

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JARS OF CLAY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
