[Intro 1]
[Em][Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em](Keep faith, keep faith,
[G]in awe[Am] and[C] wonder)
Great Lord, your love's divine
I spread your grace
[D]I s[C]hare your l[Em]ight

[Interlude 1]
[Em][G][Em]
[Am]For the shores

[Verse 2]
[Em]of Hell were burni[G]ng
[F#m]In purgat[G]ory's smell
Went [Em]a preacher with [G]a crucifix
Brought [F#m]mayhem and des[G]pair[Em]
So here comes [G]a new God, [Am]be br[D]ave
A God- spelled illusion, a breeding of [Em]sin,
I'll [G]carry [D]life[Em]
Come share the dis[Bm]grace,
come share our [C]pain
Somehow we're not [D]one
Yet, somehow we're the [Em]same
Now strong in [Bm]bloom, it shall be[C]gin
Soon for[D]gotten withering

[Verse 3]
[C]Hail, nice [Am]to meet you
[Em]Another numen stra[Bm]nger
I'm so [C]glad you have [Am]made it
[Em]Somehow you've made it
Welcome to the promised land

[Verse 4]
There are no [Em]sights
There are no [D]miracles
(shadows bear no [C]names)
You should not re[Am]veal (join the
American Gods)
The secrets of the [Em]American Gods
Transform to in[D]finity (no one
cares [C]for names)
You can't escape,
better [Am]hide now
The secrets of the Americ[Em]an Go[D]ds
[Em]

[Interlude 2]
[D][Em][D][Em]
[Am][Em][D]

[Verse 5]
[Em]So, when I look upon
These [D]fields of [Em]misery
Who would not sacrifice a [D]son?
My son, it's now [C]done
We share [Am]our tricks, we share our [Em]foes
Dis[D]corded plans, distorted tun[C]es
His dripping [Am]blood feeds
It's what this [Em]land needs
Life's creeping [D]back into, back into

[Verse 6]
[C]Sadly to say, [Am]but[Em]
Oh, there is no guid[Bm]ance
But so [C]bright, you're blazing star[Am]light
And we are [Em]watching you,
watching you
Stranger in a newborn land

[Verse 7]
Of homeless [Em]Gods
And worn out [D]miracles (on these
fields [C]of crows)
You should not re[Am]veal (join the
[A]American Gods)
The secrets [Am]of the A[Em]mer
ican Gods
Transform to in[D]finity (no one
cares [C]for names)
You better bow down,
praise [Am]the new lords
The secrets of the [Em]American Gods

[Interlude 3]
[Em][D][C][Am][Em]
[D][C][Am]
[C][Am][Em][D][C][Am][Em][D]

[Verse 8]
[Em]Take a look at yours[G]elf[Em]
[F#m]Oh, behold, here's another [G]trick
But [Em]now enlight our path in [G]glory
It is [F#m]time to close your e[G]yes,
[D]I shall [Em]live
Almost [F#m]insubstantial[G]
[Am]Resurrect, these moments gone
[Em]Contemplate desire
An [G]eternal [A]fla[Am]me's[A]
[Am]burn[G]ing [C]down
Don't be scared, [Bm]fol l[Em]ow the plan
On a lifeless tree, black [F#m]bird's [G]singing
[Bm]Be h[C]old your father of viole[Bm]nce[Em]
The one- eyed [F#m]God[G]

[Verse 9]
It's [C]sad, I thought you'd know [Am]that
[Em]The greatest liar is telli[Bm]ng you eternal truth[C]
I thought you'd [Am]know [Em]that
I'm your master,

[Verse 10]
stranger in an unknown land
[Em]Of roaring silence
Dead end [D]miracles (bloody fields,
[C]bloody rules)
I will now re[Am]veal
(join the American Gods)
The secrets of [Em]the American Gods
Transform to in[D]finity (no one
cares [C]for names)
The moment is right,
you shall [Am]cry out
The secrets of the [Em]American Gods
The [D]American

[Verse 11]
Gods
Yes, [C]we travel all alone
A new [Am]play, a new scene
Dripping blood seals the deal
When we [Em]en ter a new world
Stranded, we are [D]wandering
Time? Time means [C]nothing
To the [Am]American Gods
No [D]more [Em]sorrows
Praise the [D]American Gods
You are [C]burning
Yes, [Am]you are burning
Oh, you must [Em]conquer your fear
You better save your[D]self
But now [C]obey [Am]the American Gods
You better save yourself
