I only know the basic riff, and if I remember correctly, it runs

throughout the song (might be in a different key though, no me

recuerdo...)

Maybe there's something I'm missing, I don't know...I know one guitar

plays this part with awful fast strumming.

Drum roll, please...and now, the three chords...

Am Dm E7

He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames

Am Dm E7

He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name

Am Dm E7

He came bathed in light and the splendor and glory

Am Dm E7

I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me

He said dance for me, fanciulla gentil

He said laugh a while, i can make your heart feel

He said fly with me, touch the face of the true god

And then cry with joy at the depth of my love

Cause i've prayed days, i've prayed nights

For the lord just to send me home some sign

I've looked long, i've looked far

To bring peace to my black and empty heart

My love will stay till the river bed run dry

And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky

I love him longer as each damn day goes

The man is gone and heaven only knows

Cause i've cried days. I've cried nights

For the lord just to send me up some sign

Is he near? Is he far?

Bring peace to my black and empty heart

So long day. So long night

Good lord, be near me tonight

Is he near? Is he far?

Bring peace to my black and empty heart
