|  /  /    /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |

                             G                                      Am
There are ghosts out in the rain tonight, high up in those ancient trees,
                           D/F#                                G
And I have given up with - out a fight, another blind fool on her knees,
G                                                                   Am
    And all the gods that I've abandoned, begin to speak in simple tongue,
                    D/F#                                            G   Gsus4  G
And, suddenly, I've come to know...that there are no roads left to run!

 
                                G                                       Am
Now it's the hour of dogs a - barking, that's what the old ones used to say,
                           D/F#                                     G  Gsus4  G
It's first light, or it's sundown, before the children cease their play,
                                   G                                        Am
And when the mountains glow like mission wine, or turn grey like a Spanish roan,
                       D/F#                                           G   Gsus4  G
Ten thousand eyes will stop to worship, then turn away, and head for home!


                             C                                     G
And she is reaching out her arms tonight, and, yes, my poverty is real,
                         Am          (Am/G) D/F#                         G    Gsus4  G
I pray roses shall rain down again...            from Guadalupe, on her hill,
                                C                               G        (Gsus4)      (G)
And, who am I to doubt these mysteries, cured in centuries of blood, and candle smoke?
                              Am        (Am/G) D/F#                           G   Gsus4 G
I am the least of all your pilgrims here,           but I am most in need of hope!


   G              Am                           D/F#                           
|  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |

   G             Gsus4           G                          
|  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |


                          G                               Am
She appeared to Jaun Di - ego, she left her image on his cape,
                       D/F#                                   G   Gsus4  G
Five hundred years of sorrow...cannot destroy their deepest faith,
                            G                                        Am
So, here I am, your ragged disbeliever, a doubting Thomas drowns in tears,
                             D/F#                                              G   Gsus4  G
As I watch your church sink through the earth, like a heart worn down through fear!


                             C                                     G
And she is reaching out her arms tonight, and, yes, my poverty is real,
                         Am          (Am/G) D/F#                         G    Gsus4  G
I pray roses shall rain down again...            from Guadalupe, on her hill,
                                C                               G       (Gsus4)        (G)
And, who am I to doubt these mysteries, cured in centuries of blood, and candle smoke?
                              Am        (Am/G) D/F#                          G   Gsus4  G
I am the least of all your pilgrims here,          but I am most in need of hope,
                              Am        (Am/G) D/F#                          G   Gsus4  G
I am the least of all your pilgrims here,          but I am most in need of hope!
