[Verse 1]
Up those [C]stone [Am]steps I cli[F]mb[Am][Dm]
Hail this [G]joyful day's [C]return
Into its great shadowed
[Am]vault I go[F][Am][Ab]
Hail the Pente[G]costal morn
[F][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]
The reading is from Luke
[Am]24[F][Am][Dm]
Where Christ [G]returns to his loved ones
[C]I look at the[Am] stone apo[F]stles[Am][Ab]
Think that it's [G]alright for some
[F]

[Verse 3]
[G]And I [C]wish that I [Am]was made o[F]f [G]stone[Dm]
So that I would [G]not have to see
[C]A beauty i[Am]mpossible to d[F]efine
[Am]A be[Ab]auty impossible to beli[G]eve

[G]A b[C]eauty i[Am]mpossible to e[F]ndure[Am]

[C]The smell of you sti[Am]ll on my hands[F]
As [Am]I bri[Ab]ng the cup up to my l[G]ips
[F][G]

[Verse 5]
[C]
No [Am]God up in the sky
[Dm]And no devil beneath[G] the sea[C]
Could do the job [Am]that you did, [Ab]baby
Of bringing me [G]to my knees
[F][G]

[Verse 6]
[C]
Outside [Am]I sit on the stone
[F]ste[Am]ps[Dm]
With [G]nothing much to do
[C]Forlorn and exhausted,
[Am]baby[F][Am][Ab]
By [G]the absence of [F]you
