A Silver Mt Zion – There Is A Light chords

I have broken the intro up into 'phrases' so that it is easier to play.

INTRO.

This is repeated for the vocal intro:

Hang on darlin'
Chant aloud
This boy's lost his thunder
Amongst the dirty clouds

Then there is the instrumental section which follows the chord sequence:

Bb    F     Gm     Eb x 3
Bb    F     Gm

Then the the vocals come in:

Bb         FDull white starlight,
Gm                        Ebpale as the morning falls away.

Bb               The devil each dawn,
Fand flat greys upon,
Gm                          Ebwe're torn asunder neath his gaze.

Eb          FSo c'mon ye children,
Gm                     Ebif there's one thing we know,
Bb                       F                   Gmit's that them gathering clouds are swinging low.


Eb              FSo don't you be precious,
Gm               Ebman don't you be meek,
Bb                 F            Gmthere ain't no damn glory in the long retreat.

Dm         Go call the fuzz,
                   Bbthey'll shine their lights on us,
          Dm we've been building in the dark,
          Bbthere's so many of us.
Dm         Now blinking in the light,
          Bbthere's so many of us.
DmIlluminated and proud,
           Bbthere's so many of us.
          Dm                                                 BbBut there ain't no truth but the no truth but the not truth, yeah!
Dm                                             BbAin't no thing but the nothing but the nothing, yeah!
Dm                                              BbAin't no fall but the long fall is a long fall, yeah!
         Dm                                                CAnd there ain't no light but the true light is a dim light, yeah!
                                                                 F

But I've been waiting and longing for that light to fall all over me.

C       F          Eb       Bb             6 and 6 parsons and he doth proclaim that the 
C          F          Eb           Bbbest little bits of us misfits and strays
       C           F           Eb          Bbmake a light in the night that needs to be shamed,
        C            Fall for some none for all,
       Eb         Bband all fallen the same.
       C            F                   Eb     BbAnd we surrender the stage to those (pale horse riders x 3)

CmGo forth, man
CGet down,
      Cm                 CWith a mighty fist and a retarded crown,
      Cm     do the one-step the two-step,
CSweet jubilee!
    Cm                         And show me the light, goddamn!
    C     F         Eb          BbAnd lay me down in a bed full of rain.

     Bb                            Yeah shit is bleak - we've seen it and worried,
    Four timid leaps get knee-deep and buried,
 Gm                                    Eb         Ebmentire weeks where I swear I can barely rise.

 Bb Electrical fits,
tantrums and prayers,
Fpride un-does what mercy repairs,
   Gmthe pits of this,
                            Eb             Ebmtoss a match to it and start again.

    Bb                                             FThe absence of light is its own stubborn light - no light is a light,
no light is the true light, 
   Gm                                       Eb                  and there is no light so there is a light so there is no light so there is a 
Ebmlight!

 Bb                     FThough we've been denied too much hope in our lives
Gm                      Eb       Ebmlet tonight be the night when it ends.

(Same chords for the rest of the song except dropping the Ebm like in the first few verses)

Tell me there is a light!
There is a light!

There!
Is!
A!
Light!
