Lion Of Rock

	  		verse 1: 
  Gadd4 
I climbed up a lion of rock 
Gadd4 
There overlooking the swirls of the world 
           Am9 
All the shifting of sands that I saw 
 Am9 
Conflicting energies giving and taking 
     Bm11 
The fluid grace of it all 
 Bm11 
Billowing shadows of clouds in the sand 
           Cmaj7 
While the waves lay down all stretched and taught 
 Cmaj7                                         Em7   G 
Folding and wrinkling back to the source of it all 
Em7  G  Cmaj7 
Ah_________ 



                          Am7 
Every breath is give and take 
            Cmaj7             Em9 
Every breath is give and take 
                              Am7 
Every breath is give and take 
            Cmaj7                    Em7     G 
Every breath is give and take, give and take 



verse 2: 
   Gadd4 
I love you, oh, gentlest of ways 
     Gadd4 
Who ripens us as we wrestle with you 
           Am9 
The great homesickness we cannot shake 
 Am9 
You the great forest surrounding us now 
   Bm11 
In silence it’s you that we sing 
 Bm11 
Billowing shadows of Heaven on earth 
          Cmaj7 
As we lay down our lives stretched and taught 
  Cmaj7                                         Em7   G 
Folding and wrinkling back to the source of it all 
Em7  G  Cmaj7 
Ah_________ 



                  Em7 
Every breath is give and take 
            Cmaj7              Em9  G 
Every breath is give and take 
                       D       Em7  G  Em7  Cmaj7 
Every breath is give and take 
            D5               Em7 
Every breath is give and take 
   Em7 
Every breath is give and take, give and take 
E5        A5      G5   D5 
   Give and take 



verse 3: 
  G5 
I see it all like a hymn 
     G5 
The constant refrain of the echo and change and 
 G5 
All is beautiful 
E5  A5  G5      D5       E5   A5 
        All is beautiful 


Bridge: 
G5 
Everything, everyone building and breaking 
    D5 
And I see the grace of it all 
E5 
There is no giving without any taking 
        A5 
There’s no love without any loss 
G5     D5         G 
All is beautiful 


Ending: 
Gadd4 
Suddenly everything came into focus 
   Am9 
As I saw her taking a walk 
Am9 
The tiniest speck, just a grain in the wind 
     Bm11 
But oh, how much great in the small 
    Bm11 
The tiniest body containing the glory 
    Cmaj7 
Of Heaven and angels and God 
   Cmaj7                                             Em7   G 
I climbed down the rock and I ran to the sand and my love 
     Em7   G   Cmaj7 
My love
