Gene Clark - White Light Chords

[Intro]
C     Dm7    C
 
[Verse]
C
Oh, the village of the hill
        F           Dm7
Sitting silently at will
                                   C
Like some prophecy forgotten by an age
C
With no guns before its gate
       F         Dm7
The mysterious estate
                                       C      C-Cadd9
Lies waiting for its history's dawning page
C        F      C      Dm7        C            C-Cadd9
With the raging of the sea before its height
C       F           C         Dm7        C
And the strength of those who see beyond their sight
 
[Instrumental]
C    F  Dm7      C
 
[Verse]
C
Oh, the smithies anvil rings
                    Dm7
And the symphony it sings
                                   C
No voice nor poet's pen can put to tune
C
And electric lines of force
                       Dm7
Ring around the humble lives
                                         C      C-Cadd9
Of the souls that hear the master saying soon
C        F           C      Dm7           C           C-Cadd9
With the crowds that gather near, disturb the night
C        F       C    Dm7             C
Striking flashes of a difference, fleeing fright
 
[Instrumental]
C      Dm7      C
 
[Verse]
C
No slight of tongue nor hand
                        Dm7
Can so boldly there withstand
                                             C
When the spirit of his truth shall speak the time
C
And no ignorance of life
                       Dm7
Can be held within the sight
                                      C      C-Cadd9
Of the buttresses of ageless binds of time
    C  F      C      Dm7         C         C-Cadd9
The communion of the forces take delight
C        F    C       Dm7              C
With the fear that no tongues may read nor write
 
[Instrumental]
C      Dm7
        C
A white light
 
[Verse]
C
Oh, the village of the hill
        F            Dm7
Sitting silently and still
                                                 C
With the strength of ages past, they're still at hand
C
Reckons not to look behind
       F               Dm7
But to look within and find
                                        C      C-Cadd9
And to hear of those enlightened by the lamb
C        F      C      Dm7              C           C-Cadd9
With the powers of the wind both fierce and light
C       F      C      Dm7                C
And the waters of the storm went through the night
 
[Outro]
