I LONG FOR THE MUSIC THAT SINGS

Composed by Paul Michael
from "Bye Bye Pie" by Father David

Capo: First Fret

I looked (Gm)out upon the city
And I (F)heard no music at all
The (Gm)voice of the harpers and pipers had ceased
The (F)trumpeters no longer call
The (Dm)crown from our head is (Am)fallen
The (Dm)joy of our heart is (Am)ceased
Our (Gm)dancing is turned into (A7)mourning
And I (Gm)weep for those that (C)weep

Chorus:
Oh I (F)long for the music that (Bb)sings
And I (F)wait for the songs that (A7)live
With (Bb)words that speak to the (F)children of love
My (Bb)song to them I (C)give

[Repeat Chorus on last line add:]
"I (Dm)give (C)"

While (Gm)walking through the city
I (F)heard the songbird say
(Gm)Children, we are leaving,
(F)Flying all away
Mount (Dm)up with wings like the (Am)eagles
And (Dm)fly on the wings of (Am)song
The (Gm)words that speak, the (A7)music that sings
Will (Gm)live forever (C)on

[Repeat Chorus Once] (F)-(Bb)-(F)-(C)

And (Dm)as I watched them (F)fly away
Their (Dm)face shone with the (Am)sun
I (Bb)knew their hearts had (F)touched the sky
(Bb)By the song they (C)sung

[Repeat Chorus]
