[Intro]
Dadd4/F# C/E G
| / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
[Verse 1]
G G
There are ghosts out in the rain ...tonight,
G Am
High up in those ancient trees,
D/F#
And I have given up with - out a fight,
G
Another blind fool on her knees,
G
And all the gods that I've abandoned,
Am
Begin to speak in simple tongue,
D/F#
And, suddenly, I've come to know...
G Gsus4 G
...That there are no roads left to run!
[Verse 2]
G
Now it's the hour of dogs a - barking,
Am
That's what the old ones used to say,
D/F#
It's first light, or it's sundown,
G Gsus4
Before the children cease their play,
G
And when the mountains glow like mission wine,
Am
Or turn grey like a Spanish roan,
D/F#
Ten thousand eyes will stop to worship,
G Gsus4 G
Then turn away, and head for home!
[Chorus]
C
And she is reaching out her arms tonight,
G Gsus4
And, yes, my poverty is real,
G Am
I pray roses shall rain down again...
D/F# G Gsus4
From Guadalupe, on her hill,
G C
And, who am I to doubt these mysteries,
G Gsus4 G
Cured in centuries of blood, and candle smoke?
Am
I am the least of all your pilgrims here,
D/F# G Gsus4 G
But I am most in need of hope!
[Break]

[Verse 3]
G
She appeared to Jaun Di - ego,
Am
She left her image on his cape,
D/F#
Five hundred years of sorrow...
G Gsus4
...Cannot destroy their deepest faith,
G
So, here I am, your ragged disbeliever,
Am
A doubting Thomas drowns in tears,
D/F#
As I watch your church sink through the earth,
G Gsus4
Like a heart worn down through fear!
[Chorus]
G C
And she is reaching out her arms tonight,
G Gsus4 G
And, yes, my poverty is real,
Am
I pray roses shall rain down again...
D/F# G Gsus4 G
From Guadalupe, on her hill,
G C
