The Quiet Wonder Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I'd shake [A]your hand if I [Em]had one to extend
[G]But it was blo[D]wn off in [Em]the war
The [G]war that ended [D]just a minute ago
[A]When I cam[Em]e in the front doo[G]r
[D]When I left [A]town about
a [Em]hun dred years ago,
[G]I didn't thi[D]nk I'd lose my way[Em]
The kind of [G]losing where you
[D]wonder at the en[A]d
if you [Em]even know [G]your name
[Em]And I remember t[G]he d[D]ays when we [A]sang,
[Em]sang [C]the tunes of the night
[G]with the qui[Bbdim]et wonder of[Bm] being s[G]o near.[D]
I understand [A]that the [Em]nature of your smile
[G]was always etc[D]hed within the fra[Em]me
Of the [G]way that [D]you insisted that you [A]be,
and I [Em]thought it was [G]a game
[D]But now [A]you're gone and I'm
[Em]looking at the [G]ground
where you [D]held us all [Em]aloft
And the [G]burdens that you [D]carried
like a mule [A]on your back[Em],
tender and [G]soft
And [Em]I remember the[G]
[D]days when we [A]sang,
[Em]sang [C]the tunes in [G]the night,
it was a [Bbdim]quiet wonder[Bm] of bei[G]ng so near[D].
All the crazy [Em]caravans,
the trails of dust and [Bm]memories
Rising like the [A]feathers of a bird
[Em]Spread [C]the wings,
the [G]family of [Bbdim]bleary eyes
And [Bm]hungry for a [A]promise
which will [G]save us in a word
[Em]And I remember t[G]he d[D]ays when we [A]sang,
[Em]sang [C]the tunes of the [G]night,
with the [Bbdim]quiet wonder[Bm]
of [G]being so [D]near.
[Em]An d I rem[G]ember the
[D]days when we [A]sang,
[Em]Sang [C]the tunes of the [G]night
with a [A]quiet won[Bm]der of b[G]eing s[D]o near.
[Em]Sang [C]the tunes of [G]the night
with the [Bbdim]quiet won[Bm]der of being[G] so near
