Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
There are ghosts out in the [G]rain tonight
High up in those ancient [Am]trees
Lord, I've given up [D]without a fight
Another [Bm]blind fool on [G]his knees
And all the Gods that I've abandoned

[Verse 2]
Begin to speak in simple [Am]tongues
Lord, suddenly I've [D]come to know
There are no roads left [G]to run
Now it's the hour of dogs a-barking

[Verse 3]
[G]That's That's what the old
ones used to [Am]say
It's first light or it's sun[D]down
Before the children cease their [G]play
When the mountains glow
like mission wine

[Verse 4]
And turn gray like a Spanish [Am]roan
Ten thousand eyes [D]will stop
to worship
And turn away and head on [G]home
She is reaching out her [C]arms tonight

[Verse 5]
[C]Lord, my poverty [G]is real
I pray roses shall rain [Am]down [D]on me
From Guadalupe on her [G]hill
But who am [Am]I to [G]doubt
these [C]mysteries
Cured in centuries of [G]blood and candle smoke
I am the least of all your [Am]pilgrims [D]here

[Verse 6]
I am most in need [G]of [Am]hope[D][G]
She appeared to Juan Diego
She left her image on his [Am]cape
Five hundred years of [D]sorrow

[Verse 7]
Have not destroyed their deepest [G]faith
But here I am your ragged disbeliever
Old doubting Thomas drowns [Am]in tears
As I watched your church
sink [D]through the earth

[Verse 8]
Like a heart worn down through [G]fear
She is [Am]reaching [Bm]out her [C]arms tonight
Lord, my poverty [G]is real
I pray roses shall rain [Am]down on me
[D]From Guadalupe on her [G]hill

[Verse 9]
But who am I to doubt these [C]mysteries
Cured in centuries of [G]blood and candle smoke
I am the least of all your [Am]pilgrims [D]here
But I am most in need [G]of hope
I am the least of all your [Am]pilgrims [D]here
But I am most in need [G]of hope
