Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Gentle Arms Of Eden Chords

CAPO: 5th Fret


INTRO: D  C  G   D  C  G   C  G  C  D

     D      C       G
On a sleepy endless ocean
         D     C        G
When the world lay in a dream
          C      G      C          G      
There was rhythm in the splash and roll
    Am             C
But not a voice to sing
       D         C      G
So the moon fell on the breakers
        D       C          G
And the morning warmed the waves
       C      G        C        G      
'Til a single cell did jump and hum
    Am               D
For joy as though to say


CHORUS:
           G
This is my home
           C    G      
This is my only home
            C           Em                 D
This is the only sacred ground that I have ever known
             G
And should I stray
       C    D      Em    
In the dark night alone
C       G       Em     C      D       G
Rock me Goddess in the gentle arms of Eden


         D         C          G
Then the day shone bright and rounder
         D          C    G
'Til the one turned into two
        C     G      C        G      
And the two into ten thousand things
    Am              C
And old things into new
    D       C      G
And on some virgin beach head
    D        C       G
One lonesome critter crawled
       C      G         C       G      
And he looked about and shouted out
       Am              D
In his most astonished drawl


CHORUS:
           G
This is my home
           C    G      
This is my only home
            C           Em                 D
This is the only sacred ground that I have ever known
             G
And should I stray
       C    D      Em    
In the dark night alone
C       G       Em     C      D       G
Rock me Goddess in the gentle arms of Eden


INSTRUMENTAL: 


     D       C       G
Then all the sky was buzzing
        D          C      G
And the ground was carpet green
        C    G        C      G      
And the wary children of the woods
     Am           C
Went dancing in between
        D      C      G
And the people sang rejoicing
         D           C         G
When the fields were glad with grain
     C       G   C        G      
This song of celebration 
           Am            D
From their cities on the plain


CHORUS:
           G
This is my home
           C    G      
This is my only home
            C           Em                 D
This is the only sacred ground that I have ever known
             G
And should I stray
       C    D      Em    
In the dark night alone
C       G       Em     C      D       G
Rock me Goddess in the gentle arms of Eden


            D     C          G
Now there's smoke across the harbour
            D         C      G
And there's factories on the shore
        C        G        C         G      
And the world is ill with greed and will
    Am            C
And enterprise of war
    D      C      G
But I will lay my burdens
       D      C       G
In the cradle of your grace
        C       G       C       G      
And the shining beaches of your love
        Am            D
And the sea of your embrace


CHORUS:
           G
This is my home
           C    G      
This is my only home
            C           Em                 D
This is the only sacred ground that I have ever known
             G
And should I stray
       C    D      Em    
In the dark night alone
C       G       Em     C      D       G
Rock me Goddess in the gentle arms of Eden
C       G       Em     C      D       G
Rock me Goddess in the gentle arms of Eden
