Who Will Answer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
From the canyons [G]of the mind
whe wander on and stumble
blindly
through the often tangled maze
of starless nights and sunless
days
while asking for some kind of clue,
a road to lead us to the truth
but who will answer.
Side by side two people stand
together vowing hand in hand
that love's embedded
in their hearts.
But soon an empty feeling starts
to overwhelm their hollow lives
and when they seek the "hows"
and "whys"
who will answer.
[Gm]On a strange and distant hill
a young man's lying very still,
his arms will never [Em]hold his child
because a bul[Edim]let running wil[Em]d
has struck him [C]down! and now we cry
"Dear God! oh why, oh why"
but [G]who will answer[Gm].[G]
[Gm]High upon a lonely ledge
[G]a fig[Gm]ure teeters near the edge
and jeering crowd[Edim]s collect below
[Em]to egg him on with "go man go"
but [C]who will ask what led him
to his private day of doom
and [D]who will [G]answer.[Gm][G]
[C]If the soul is darkene[D]d
by [G]a fear it cannot [Em]name,
[C]if the mind is [D]baffled
when [G]the rules don't fit the [Em]game,[C]
[D]who will [C]answer[G]...
[C]Hal[D]leluja[C]h.[G]

[Verse 2]
[G]
In this [Gm]room [G]with darkened shades,
the scent of sandalwood pervades
the coloured thoughts
[Em]in muddled heads
reclining on the rumpled beds
of unmade [C]dreams that can't
come true
and when we ask what we should do
who [G]will answer.
Neath the spreading mushroom tree
the [Gm]world revolves in apathy
[G]as ove[Em]rhead a row of specks
roars on, drowned out by discotheques
and if [C]a secret button's pressed
because one man has been [D]outguessed
who [G]will answer.
In our [Gm]hope in walnut shells
worn round the neck with temple bells?
[G]or deep within som[Em]e cloistered walls
were hooded figures pray in balls?
or in [C]old books on dusty shelves?
or in our stars? Or [D]in ourselves?
who [G]will will [C]asnwer.
If the sould is darkene[D]d
by a [G]fear it cannot [Em]name,
[C]if the mind is [D]baffled
when [G]the rules don't fit [Em]the game[G][C]
[D]who will answer...
[C]Hal[G]lelujah
